14 gauge wire is for 15 amp circuits. At 220 volts that would be enough for 2.4 kw.
At 120 volts it would need 12 gauge wire which is rated for 20 amps.
The only way to change a 14-2 wire into a 14-3 wire is to physically remove the 14-2 and replace it with a 14-3.
12 wire is bigger than 14 so nothing would happen, the bigger the wire the more current it can handle and the better it is.
Yes, that is fine as long as the wire does not run underground. If it does run underground you need 14-2U wire.

Both 12-2 and 14-2 wire have 2 wires in a single cord. Neither contains a ground wire. Size 12 wire is a larger wire than size 14 wire. Size 12 wire can carry more amperage without getting hot and burning up. They would not be used for house wiring or machinery since they do not have a ground wire.
I = P/V is the equation. It depends what voltage the circuit has eg. I = 24000/110 or I = 24000/240 etc.
No, you can never mix wire sizes in a circuit.
Bird on the Wire was created in 1969-04.
You cannot connect 12-2 wire and 14-2 wire together. This can be dangerous, and it will cause issues with the circuit.
