Australian here. Does it ever happen that the punter has to make a tackle? Say the ball is caught and run all the way to the punters location. If so are they ever trained to tackle?
yes there are a lot of random big hits made by punters actually but its not typical

>Does it ever happen that the punter has to make a tackle?
Yes.
It very rarely ends well for the punting team.
Not OP, but I've never really seen what's so difficult about punting.
Shouldn't you just boot it as close to the endzone as possible without making it go past it? That isn't really hard if you get to hold the ball when you kick it.

OP here, isn't that still a test of accuracy, in a game where inches matter?

So do they train to tackle?

If they do it's not a major part of their routine. They aren't in a situation where they have to make a tackle very often.
