        DDT has only been used for one thing, as a pesticide to kill insects.  It was later found to be harmful to animals and humans so the use of DDT was banned in 1973 by the United States.  It has not been use for anything else.

    There are covalent bonds in the compound, because there is a sharing of electrons between nonmetal and nonmetal.  The electrons from one element are shared with the other element to create an octet or eight electrons on the outer shell.

    DDT doesn't react with any thing, it only breaks down in solutions that are organic.
