You see all these warnings that the can may explode if you try to caramelize it unopened, but my mother routinely caramelized it in the can from approximately 1925 to 1985 without an explosion. She took the label off the can, put it in large pot well covered with cold water, and boiled it for three hours, removing the can and letting it cool to room temperature before opening. After she got a pressure cooker in about 1955, she use that and cooked the can for one hour. I use a pressure cooker myself.
I'm not recommending either method, just saying my mother and I have been getting away with it for going on ninety years. Then again we both got away with smoking for quite a few years before we quit.

Yes, its quite safe to caramelise in the can as long as you make sure the water is always just about to the top of the can, and you keep it on a slow boil, not a rolling boil. Ive never had one explode.

NO! They are not the same and not interchangeable. Sweetened condensed milk: Cow's milk with sugar added, reduced by evaporation to a thick consistency. evaporated milk: Milk product with about 60% of the water removed from fresh milk
No, they add sugar to sweetened condensed milk, but condensed has been cooked down without added sugar.
To turn evaporated milk into sweetened condensed milk, you can add sugar to the evaporated milk and heat it gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens. This will create a sweetened condensed milk that can be used in recipes that call for it.

Sweetened condensed milk is sweetened with sugar and has a thick, syrupy consistency, while evaporated milk is unsweetened and has a thinner consistency.

Yes, you can substitute sweetened condensed milk for evaporated milk in a recipe, but keep in mind that sweetened condensed milk is sweeter and thicker than evaporated milk, so you may need to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe accordingly.
one can of sweetened condensed milk is now for one dollars but naw it is for more.
