My recommendation: Super Lube. It's cheap, and it will work on anything. With vaseline, the petroleum will damage certain types of o-rings. Astro-glide is just not designed for this type of application either.
Lots of people also really love Nyogel. Here's a good CPF thread about greases and lubes.
Yes, you can. In fact, it's vital to the waterproofing. You want a thin layer of silicone grease on the O-ring and threads. Cheap stuff from the plumbing aisle of a hardware store is fine, but if you want to go all-out, people swear by Nyogel 760G.

I don't work for them but I just got my d4 from them and the experience was great.
I clean my threads with microfiber cloths with some warm water then I use this as a lubricant.

I don't generally use detergents or anything more than warm water on anything. Rubbing alcohol seems like a safe bet for some things but I wouldn't let it touch your o-rings.
Best of luck.
Nyogel 760g is the best https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BOMKGPW/ref=cm_sw_r_taa_APNnybBSP7ZVM

I've use this Nyogel container on nearly 50 flashlights, multiple times, and still have 60% of the container. It is AMAZING stuff.
