The tone ranges from silly to suggestive. With food, it means yummy or licking your lips. In jokes, it works like sticking your tongue out at someone. It is also widely used as a sexual innuendo, so in flirty chats between adults it is often suggestive.

Between partners it is often teasing or suggestive. With a crush, it can test how flirty you are willing to be.

It can be. In a chat that is already flirty it often reads as suggestive, but with food or jokes it is just playful.
