The carriers can do that and the Kamikazes cannot be used since it is a non-combat move. The Kamikazes can only be used when defending against an attacking fleet of Allied warships (though they cannot hit planes, subs, or transports).
Can a carrier be chosen as a casualty if it sentences a plane to death?

See of i can summarize the situation.
If the germans expend full movement of a carrier and two planes to attack an american fleet of a battleship and destroyer in the mid atlantic, zone 102 for example, can the germans choose their carrier as the first casualty? This dooms the german planes to certain death.
-
Yes, they can.
-
yes they can, but if you choose a carrier as a casualty, then the attacking force can retreat without fighting anymore and your planes are dead
-
Yes, they can.

No. You must be able to land, even if that landing site is pending a naval battle or non combat carrier move or sea zone build.
Japan has a special Kamikaze attack that is activated by the allies under specific conditions, but it does not involve normal air units on the board. These are 6 one time attacks on enemy ships excluding subs and transports.
See: page 21 AAEurope 1940 bottom paragraph under “Air Units” third bullet point, last sentence: “You can’t deliberately move an air unit out of range of a potential safe landing space.”
See also: page 13 AAEurope 1940 first paragraph under “Air Units” first sentence: “An air unit that moves in the Combat Move phase must generally reserve part of its move value for the Noncombat Move phase, at which point it must return to a safe landing spot using its remaining movement.”
Note: This is not an official answer, just being helpful.
