If the plug is melting it is because of a heat build up caused by loose connections. If the plug is not a moulded plug check that the screws are tight. If it is not that, then the plug blades are not tight enough in the receptacle. Change out the receptacle on the generator. Draw a picture of the receptacle and mark where each wire goes. The best way of doing is is when you have the new receptacle take one wire off of the old receptacle and put it in the same position on the new receptacle. Having tight blade connections will prevent the plug overheating and melting.
Do not do this.
Only if it is rated for 110V-220V. If it is rated for 110V only and you plug it into a 220V outlet, your device will be destroyed.
No, the pin configuration would not allow this to happen.
You cannot directly plug a 110v device into a 220v outlet. This can cause damage to the device or even create a safety hazard. You would need a voltage converter or transformer to safely convert the 220v outlet to the appropriate voltage for the 110v device.
The easiest solution is to leave the 220V original outlet alone and plug the 110V dryer into a close 110V outlet, most likely the one for the washer. There should be nearby 110V outlets so you don't have to muck with rewiring the 220V outlet. A short heavy-duty extension cord is an option. I would also recommend killing the power to the old dryer outlet if it is unused. It cannot hurt. If you cannot plug the dryer into a nearby 110V outlet you can derate the 220V outlet down to a dedicated 110V outlet. This is not a task to be taken lightly if you are not experienced. If you do take this course of action yourself, buy a book. Do it right or don't do it at all. Negligence could kill someone.
Do not do this.
Yes

There are so many different generator outlet types it is best just to ask a store that specializes in accessories for RVs and motor homes.
Yes, it uses an AC power adapter.

Yes you can safely do this. Most appliances that are marked 115 volts will operate on outlet between 110 and 120 volts safely.

No. Attempting to run an appliance on insufficient voltage can cause damage to the appliance and can be dangerous. Call an electrician and get him to install a 220v plug
Assuming the wiring to the outlet has 2 loads and one neutral, isolate one load from the outlet and use the neutral as the common. be sure to ground from the receptacle to your conduit or ground lead. You should also replace the corresponding breaker with a 120 volt single breaker.
Stackable washer dryer combination only requires one type of outlet. Both units run on 110v circuit. Therefore, only one outlet is necessary to plug both units into.
