Yes, an 18 volt charger can damage a 14 volt battery. This is because the wattage for the battery needs to be equal to the wattage of the charger.
Batteries are normally specified in ampere hours. A 12 v battery could be specified as 14 A-h or 14 ampere-hours, which means 14 amps for 1 hour, or 1.4 amps for 10 hours. In other words it produces less current for a longer time. A 9 watt bulb takes ¾ amp in theory, so it should last 14/¾ hours on that battery, that is 14 x 4 / 3 hours, 18 hours. Or two of the same bulbs for 9 hours, etc.
Inside a 12 volt battery charger, one of the main components is a transformer used to lower the supply voltage to 14 VAC. The other main component is the diode bridge. It is a full wave bridge network which uses four diodes for voltage rectification. The open circuit output of the battery charger is about 13.8 VDC. So, no a battery charger is not a rectifier but it used the process of rectification in its operation.
No. You will need a 14/3 with Ground.
You can't compare volts and amps in this context. If you mean 18 Volts vs. 14 Volts then the 18 Volt tool will provide more power for the job.

Absolutely not! It is a 14 volt drill. Use a 16 or 18 volt battery will destroy the drill in short order. It will run but not for long.
Check the battery direct with a volt meter, while running. Should have around 14 volts. Less than 13, then might have to replace the alt.
Yes, the sockets are different in all battery chargers so you can only insert the correct battery.
some makita battery charger can charger 12V 14.4V battery, I suggest you to search the details of the specific charger model number for more information.

Check at the battery with a volt meter, Should have over 14 volts when engine is running. If not, possibly have to replace the alt. or check all the wires.
Shouldn't be a problem. For example the unloaded voltage on a car battery is often around 14 Volts. Under load the voltage reduces.
Maybe because your alternator is not working. While the engine is running, test the battery with a volt meter, anything less than 13 volts is a problem Should have min of 14 volts. If its at 12 volts, then replace the alternator.
Yes as long as they are both 12 volt batteries.
Around 13.5 volts or can be as high as 14 volts.
