BUT that's for baking. For 'mice and rats', I don't think it matters. Peppermint is peppermint, correct?

It appears that peppermint oil, not peppermint extract, works better to get rid of mice. This is because the extract contains more alcohol than peppermint oil, so it will not be as strong as the oil itself.
GNC probably carries peppermint oil.
If in the U.K you can buy 100% peppermint oil from Holland & Barrett. Price is short of £5.00 for a 10ml bottle. It clearly states it is consumable.
Yes, they dig holes in the dirt down to the roots. They may be burying some pet food if you have that sitting around. The best way to keep them out of your plants is to put a few drops of peppermint oil in the dirt, make sure it is oil not extract. Mice hate the smell of it. Also, if you plant peppermint outside along your house it will keep them out. Works for me!
Your cat probably likes the oil because of the strong vapors in it. The ingredients in the oil include peppermint, eucalyptus, cajeput, wintergreen, juniper and clove.

Yes you can its 1/4 a tsp of oil for 1 tsp of extract
Walmart sells peppermint oil for baking, peppermint oil softgels, and peppermint extract. See the related links for the product listings on Walmart.com.
You can have peppermint leaves, or you can extract the liqued from the leaves and have peppermint extract.
I would strongly, strongly recommend NOT drinking peppermint extract, doing so for health purposes could be DANGEROUS. Large Internal Doses such as drinking peppermint extract could cause severe kidney damage, irregluar heartbeats, miscarriages in pregnant women. Peppermint extract is a diluted version of the peppermint oil which is 100% oil and the most prodominate active ingredient is menthol. CAUTION: Pure Peppermint should not be ingested and Pure Menthol can be FATAL in as small a dose as 1 tsp. You can use drops of peppermint extract (and even the peppermint oil in a smaller amount) to freshen your breath or add to water or tea. It is used in cooking baked goods, desserts, candy, in dietary supplements.

Yes, the potency would be number one difference. The type of peppermint is another difference. The way it was cultivated and distilled is another difference. Visit my site www.youngliving.org/raqad for more details.

Yes you can but it needs to be diluted by a carrier oil such as.... Grape seed oil Castor oil Vatika oil Avocado oil Henna Amla oil

This depends on which essential oil you are trying to replace. Many essential oils don't have a corresponding extract or are extracts in and of themselves.
Peppermint is not recommended as a bath oil. The peppermint essential oil can cause stinging, or dermatitis. When peppermint essential oil is included in mixtures intended for topical use it is drastically diluted with an inert carrier oil.
