It neither. It is actually a detritivore, one that breaks down organic/inorganic matter like wood and rocks. The lichen is a cyanobacterium, which is a cross between algae and fungus.

That really depends on the type of lizard. Some lizards eat insects (making them carnivores), others eat insects, other lizards and plants (making them omnivores), and still others eat only plants (making them herbivores). It depends. Large ones are carnivores but small ones e.g. geckos are insectivores(insect-eaters.)

No. The term herbivore applies to animals that eat plants. Lichen is a symbiotic combination of a fungus and algae.
