Would the alkoxide form if an hydroxide was dissolved in methanol?

No. Alkoxide ions are stronger bases than hydroxide ions. The only way of making an alkoxide is by reacting a hihgly reactive metal such as sodium with the corresponding alcohol (react sodium with methanol to produce sodium methoxide). In water sodium methoxide will react to produce sodium hydroxide and methanol.


Is gel make when magnesium methoxide reaction with methanol?

No. Magnesium methoxide will react with water to form a gel. The gel is actually a cross-linked Magnesium hydroxide structure in methanol. Magnesium methoxide is typically sold/stored in dry methanol to protect the chemical as it is incredibly hygroscopic.

What is the compound formed after plunging a heated copper wire into a methanol?

It depends on what you added to the methanol before you put the heated copper wire into the methanol. The heated copper wire acted as a catalyst to speed up the reaction between the methanol and the other substance. Copper itself does not react with methanol.
