No, because 15 Amps is 2.5 Amps more than 12.5 Amps, so how can they be the same? It would be interesting to know exactly why you asked this question: is it really about a home electric appliance or a motor or something else which takes electrical power?

The formula you are looking for is W = A x V.
The larger of the two is neutral, smaller is hot.
Well, a 120V appliance that draws 15A would be using 1800W. (15x120). A killowatt hour is one killowatt used continuously for an hour. If you used that device for one hour straight, it would use 1.8 kWh. (Keep in mind the device may not draw a full 15A)
Yes. The "15A" rating of the power cord is the MOST current it should carrybefore it might get hot and become dangerous. You can safely use it foranything that draws 15 Amps of current or less. Your treadmill only needs 12 Amps.Another example:If you plugged lots and lots of light fixtures into that power cord, you would nottotal up to 15A until you had more than 1800 watts of light bulbs powered from it.
Yes, as long as the amp rating is the same. Examples, 600v 100amp fuse can be used in a 120v 100 amp's location.

No, unless it's a gas range. An electric range requires 240V and 40A while a small appliance will be 120V and Max 15A.
If it fits you are fine. You are at the same current and the voltage rating is higher.
no 208v is bigger
You have to replace the wire (as you are increasing the current capacity), the outlet, and the breaker. Essentially you have to remove the old circuit and put in a new one. You can't reuse parts of the old circuit as you are increasing the current capacity and they would be underrated.
125a
