Good heavens, NO! Cloves and garlic do not resemble each other in flavor any more than chocolate and horseradish do. You would NEVER substitute one for the other. They are two of the most distinctive - and different - flavors in cooking. A clover of garlic is one section of the garlic head. Cloves, as a spice, look like tiny nails. They have one of the most pungent and pervasive flavors of any spice, and must be used with great discretion.

You can't really substitute whole cloves for ground cloves in most recipes. For example, in pumpkin pie, whole cloves wouldn't work with the dish.

Yes, but you are going to get a different flavor intensity. If the recipe is for a couple of cloves, you will not need more than a pinch to match the flavor.

Yes you can but use the oil very sparingly since it is much stronger than the cloves. The measurements won't be the same at all.

How many grams in a teaspoon of ground cloves?

I have done this before, and found that whole cloves vary in size. Some cloves can be twice the size of their companions; so, this is not easy to answer. Does your recipe require that you grind the cloves? If so, then you should grind enough to occupy 2 teaspoons. I realize fresh spices are a good practice to follow, but cloves are a strong spice; and, I have found that my guests generally can't distinguish cloves from an unopened bottle of ground cloves versus the fresh-ground originals.
