Unripe (green) fruit of Solanum nigrum does contain solanine and should be avoided, but the ripe fruit is perfectly edible and quite delicious. People all around the world eat Solanum nigrum. In parts of the US Solanum nigrum berries are made into pies.

The tomato hawkmoth uses tomato, various nightshade, datura inoxia, various nicotiana... to eat when a caterpillar...

As an adult... yes, it uses as a nectar source, 4 o'clocks, datura, cleome, other stuff... In the summer time at about dusk thirty.... Go out with a flashlight and watch the various hawkmoth swoop...
