    Yes, you can still use it. You may find it is a bit more bitter or that it loses its flavor a bit, but it is not harmful.

    If you find that your marjoram is bolting quickly, this is an indication that the plant is under stress. If you can figure out what is stressing it and correct it, it won't flower as much.

    Most likely, it is a watering issue. Even with watering everyday, they are still not getting enough water. In heat like that, you will want to water 2X a day and water the pot for several minutes to make sure it is thoroughly soaked. Plants in containers must be watered daily, even twice a day if temperatures rise above 85 F. As the plants grow larger, they need more water, so while it may have seemed they were getting enough before, now they really need more to sustain themselves.

    This is a crisis situation for those young plants. You absolutely must shade them. Small seedlings are no match for over 90 F. temps in full sun. You might use a small box to shade them from afternoon sun or anything else that will block sun rays if you can't move the planter. I imagine it will take several weeks to recover, if they do. Keep soil moist but not soggy; mulch will help with this
