The best way is to use a "fox and hound' setup. I think this is a brand name used by Triplett, an electrical test instrument company. Other companies make similar products. They usually run from $80 to $120. It might be possible to rent or borrow one. The "fox" is a tone generator that clips onto the wire where it is accessible and sends a signal down the wire. The "hound" is a probe that beeps and flashes when it is within a foot of the wire. You can trace the wire through the wall until you reach a dead end, where the wire is broken.

A 240 volt wire is the insulation factor of the wire. If you mean a 240 supply source from a distribution panel to a junction box then the answer is yes. You have to keep in mind that the box has to be accessible, meaning that you can get to the box to check the splice within the box. Don't bury the junction box behind the wall board.

The simplest way is to put the wire there first, while the wall is not yet finished. Then you finish the wall. It is good practice to use plastic tubes for the electrical wires inside the wall. Using the tubes and the old wires, you can pull new wires through the tubes. Electricians use special metal wires to help with this.

How can you earthquake your flat screen tv that is not wall mounted?
My 52" Sony actually came with a strap which is meant to be mounted to the wall behind the TV, to prevent it from falling over. This would not only protect from it falling over in an earthquake, but also from a young child pulling it over and potentially seriously hurting themselves. If your TV didn't come with a strap like that, I'd suggest using wire attached to screws secured in one or more of the wall mount mounting holes, and then secure the wire(s) to the wall behind the TV.
