I employ myself basically, so I contract out my services, but work in many venues/bars, so hypothetically, could I be sued for sexual harrassment?

Yes. You can be sued for anything. Whether they have a case or not is another story.

You personally?. Well, yes, if you harass someone 
But if someone you employ or subcontract work to harasses someone, then no they could not go after you or your business.

Sure they can. Anyone can file any kind of suit against another person or business. If it ends up being a total bullshit suit the judge might throw it out and maybe penalize the person that filed the suit. You are also welcome to counter-sue someone, even just for suing you.. even if they have good cause. Big companies do it all the time to intimidate private citizans and smaller companies.

Depends on how many asses you are grabbing, and how hard. Are you doing the sly, bend down to grab something, and accidentally brush up against a butt-cheek? Or are you doing the full on, grab it like a bowling ball, and yelling DATS A TIGHT AYSHHH!
Remember, if you do get sued, you can always go with the "boys will be boys" defence. Works every time.
