No, the fixtures do not have anything is common other that emitting light. If you are talking about removing the fluorescent fixture and installing a new fixture that can take a LED lamp then the answer is yes.
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
The basic fluorescent light fixture is AC, although there are fluorescent lights powered by DC.
Yes, also you could try a lower wattage lamp that will still fit into the same fluorescent fixture.
The voltage of your area is what determines the operating voltage of all equipment. Equipment from other countries usually has to use a transformer to get the correct voltage. The voltage on a fluorescent fixture is printed on the ballast of the fixture. See if the voltage on the ballast matches the supply voltage of the system that you are going to use to operate the fixture.
A pin based fluorescent light fixture is the type of fixture that takes fluorescent tubes. On each end of the fluorescent tubes there are contact pins. These pins are used to hold the tube in the fixture and to supply the voltage to the tube from the fixture's ballast.

If you are talking about the lamp then the answer is no. If you are talking about the fluorescent fixture, it should be. It is the fixture grounding that helps the tube to ignite. because of the close proximity to the metal of the fixture. There are many occasions when the fixture will not operate, but as soon as the ground is connected the fixture operates fine.
Yes a black lamp tube will work in a fluorescent fixture. Guess you don't remember the early 70's.

Fluorescent light fittings can be found in most DIY stores and builders merchants such as Do It All, Wickes, Homebase and B&Q. They can also be found online at Screwfix and Amazon.
Yes, the wattage is just the power consumption. A 30 watt Fluorescent will give more or less the same light as a incandescent bulb or 60 watts, which is the limit for your fixture for incandescent bulbs.
It is unlikely that actual light fixtures will be going away any time soon. Fluorescent bulbs will eventually be obsolete as LED and newer technologies take over.
