The Flame Blade is immaterial. I'm fairly certain you can't wield an immaterial thing as an improvised weapon. You're stuck using it as a scimitar per the spell description.
A Monk of the Empty Hand treats "normal" weapons as improvised weapons. I'm not sure a flame blade is "normal". Let's assume it can be a "normal" weapon. You get an immaterial flame club. You still get no strength mod and still do fire damage.

Using a Wand of Flame Blade, is like casting the Flame Blade spell.
Nothing changes how the spell functions.
It's an immaterial Scimitar of Flame, and you can attack with it.
Could you flurry with it if you were using Monk of the Empty Hand class?
Monk of the Empty Hand
The monk of the empty hand eschews normal weapons in favor of whatever is lying around—rocks, chair legs, flagons of ale, even a simple quill pen all become deadly weapons in the hands of such a monk. A monk of the empty hand draws on his own ki to infuse his improvised weapons with power, and can transform a broken bottle into a magical weapon.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Monks of the empty hand are proficient with the shuriken only. A monk of the empty hand treats normal weapons as improvised weapons with the following equivalencies (substituting all of their statistics for the listed weapon): a light weapon functions as a light hammer, a one-handed weapon functions as a club, and a Two-handed weapon functions as a quarterstaff.
