Yes, see Wikipedia:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flageolettton
Also note that the correct German version of harmonics is "Flageolett" (with
double t), as defined by the Duden (which is the dictionary defining the
German language).
http://www.duden.de/suche/index.php?begriff=flageolet&bereich=mixed
Thus, Flageoletttöne should have three t's.
Also, please use the correct nominativ case:
- -) natürlicher Flageoletton (Sing.) / natürliche Flageolettöne (Plural)
- -) künstlicher Flageoletton (Sing.) / künstliche Flageolettöne (Plural)

Yes, that's the correct term. However, it's also possible (and I suppose more
common) to leave out the "e" at the end: Doudezim.
Again, duden.de allows both versions of the intervalls, with and without
ending "e" (does not contain Duodezime, but e.g. 'Quint':
http://www.duden.de/suche/index.php?begriff=Quint&bereich=mixed
References:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonintervall (They use the ending "e")
http://www.musiklehre.at/7_001.htm (A book on music theory, not using the
ending "e")
Cheers,
Reinhold
