Acetaldehyde can be obtained by reduction of acetic acid
CH3COOH+2[H]--------------CH3CHO+H2O
what are the major product formed when ethanol reacts with acidified kmno4 solution
A larger percentage of persons of Asian decent, have a dominant gene mutation which interferes with the role of an enzyme called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The role of this enzyme is to convert acetaldehyde, a metabolite of ethanol (alcohol), into acetic acid. Persons with this mutation therefore experience higher levels of acetaldehyde in their systems when they consume alcohol.
When Acetaldehyde(Ethanal) is completely oxidized it forms Acetic acid(Ethanoic acid).
by electrolysis
Yes. Under proper conditions, ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal (also called "acetaldehyde"), acetic acid, and/or carbon dioxide.

Formic acid, just as acetaldehyde goes to acetic acid
I think Acetyl alcohol refers to Acetic acid(CH3COOH), which is a type of Carboxylic acid formed by oxidation of Acetaldehyde.
ethanal initially (acetaldehyde) then ethanoic acid (acetic acid)
Ethanol is first oxidised to acetaldehyde which can be further oxidised to acetic acid
Alcohol is changed to acetaldehyde in the liver, then finally is converted to acetic acid and water.

There is no need to. Acetic acid, along with water is the main component of vinegar

Some isomers are, after NIST:- methyl formate- hydroxy acetaldehyde- 1,2-dioxietane- ethene-1,2-diol- (Z)ethene -1,2-diol- formaldehyde dimer
