Which stat lowers the chance of getting Taunted?

Taunt Resist. Raising it makes an enemy's Taunt less likely to stick to you. On the attacking side, Taunt Chance raises the odds.
Does Taunt work on bosses?

No. Taunt only lands on players, so bosses and other monsters never get it. To hold a boss, you need Enmity. Enmity draws an enemy's attention and makes it attack you. The skills that inflict Taunt raise Enmity as well.
Can cleansing skills remove Taunt?

Yes. A cleansing skill can remove Taunt. Some cleanses also remove debuffs from nearby party members. So a teammate can free you before it ends.
Does being Taunted again and again build up resist?

No. Every class gets a resist passive. It adds Status Effect Resist in stacks, but only for hits taken during some effects. Those are Fear, Frost, Stun, Knockdown and Airborne. Taunt is not one of them. So Taunt on its own adds no stacks.
