You may not be able to do that. The 12V system will have a larger cord and may not pass thru the exhisting conduit. Call an electricial who knows swimming pool electrical codes.
If you want your bulbs to last longer then use 130 volt bulb on a 120 volt system. The light emitted by a 130 volt bulb, when comparing it to a 120 volt bulb, will be a bit dimmer.
The question is "use less of what?". If they are both the same wattage the 240 V light will use 1/2 the current of a 120 V light.
Mine has a 25 watt 120 volt bulb in it.
'Voltage' is electromotive force, and the 'Watt' is a unit of power. You can plug a 240 watt appliance (light, toy, radio etc) into a 120 volt socket as long as the appliance is rated for 120 volt AC operation.
12 volts is enough for a 12-volt 100-watt light bulb. It would not be enough for a 120-volt or 240-volt bulb.
Yes, the 130 volts you read on the bulb is the maximum it will handle. It will work perfectly on a 120 volt circuit and will actually last longer than a standard 120 volt bulb.
Answer for countries in Europe and other world areas running a 50 Hz power supply service. This depends on the the light or globe, if you can replace just the globe its very simple. change over the globe and buy yourself a mains(230v or 115v) to 12v isolation transformer, and attach that to the mains cable and run a cable from the 12v to the globe and away you go. The description of how to change the mains to 12v is the same if you have to replace the whole light. Then you just have to replace the globe or the whole light assembly.

Yes a 220 volt light bulb will run on a 120 volt circuit but at 1/4 of the wattage that the light bulb is rated at. A 100 watt light bulb on 220 would would be equal to a 25 watt light bult on 120 volt system.

Yes, the 130 volts you read on the bulb is just the maximum it will handle. It will work perfectly in a 120 volt circuit.
If the ballast of the HPS fixture has a 120 volt tap then, yes it can be plugged into a 120 volt receptacle.
The voltage of 120 volts is more common that the lower voltage of 12 volts.
Yes, you can easily use it. Just install it as you would any other 120 volt light fixture and change the bulb from a 240 volt bulb to a 120 volt bulb. It will work just fine.
Yes, in fact that is what a rough service bulb is rated at. The bulb used on a 120 volt system will have a reduced wattage output as to what it would be on 130 volts.
