Can an extension cord plugged on a 230V socket outlet be used to connect a fully wired container with a distribution box?
You should know the maximum current drawn from the distribution box (in amps) and that must be less than the current that the extension cord is able to supply.
Can you use a 15 amp 115 volt device in standard outlet?
The outlet is connected to and protected by a breaker or fuse in a main electric panel. The outlet should be sized to the protection. Usually utility outlets in a residence are either 15 A or 20 A. If there are multiple outlets on a circuit then the total current cannot exceed the protection value of the breaker or fuse.
Would a non grounded extension cord for Christmas lights plugged into a power strip then into the outlet cause the inside outlet to get really hot. why does the inside one get hot on the same wall?
I would suggest that you unplug the lights right away. It sounds like there is a couple of bad splices in both of your receptacle outlets. The outside outlet should be a GFCI type and it should have tripped. Get a qualified person to check the connections before you plug the lights in again. You should be able to load the circuit wattage up to a point where it will trip the breaker, but even under these circumstances the receptacles should not get hot.
Should an all-in-one scanner be plugged into the wall outlet?

Why are the contacts in an electrical extension cord further back then a normal wall outlet?
A good, solid, connection between the socket's female contacts and the plug's male contacts, with a maximum area of overlap is essential. So there should be no difference whatsoever between the physical location of an extension cord's contacts and those of a wall outlet.

In order to supply power supply to your computer you would need an outlet plug near your computer. Then you can plug your computer into that and necessarily, use an extension.
Is an electrical extension cord the same as a wall outlet?
The extension cord will extend the power outlet from a wall socket. The voltage will be the same at the end of the cord as it is from the socket. Be aware that extension cord may have a limit, as to how much current it can provide. The cord should be thick enough to provide as much power as the outlet can. It will then be properly protected by the circuit's fuse or breaker. A thin cord may get hot if a large consumer is plugged in, unless the cord is protected by it's own fuse at the plug end.
