Yes, a 20 amp breaker requires AWG # 12 copper wire. A 15 amp breaker requires AWG # 14 copper wire.
Technically, they can be on a 15 amp breaker when you use 15 amp outlets. There is a difference. Be sure to check your local code (just call the city building department and tell them you have a code question). some cities require the bedroom outlets to be on an arc-fault breaker.
Yes, you can. It will be fully protected as it can actually handle a 30 amp breaker.
A 20 amp circuit with #12 gauge wire will work in any event but if the nameplate recommends a 15 amp circuit then #14 gauge wire on a 15 amp circuit is sufficient. In either case you will have a double pole breaker and your equipment may not require a neutral. Always run a grounding conductor.
I don't understand the question, but if you want to make the line into a 20amp instead of 15amp, you just install a 20amp breaker, but remember,the wire must be 12ga wire to be connected to a 20amp breaker.

Pre 97 - Fusebox with 30 fuses a 20amp fuse No. 15 also 20amp No. 22 and 15amp No. 30 '97 to 2000 - Fuse box with 23 or 30 fuses a 15 amp No.14(also protects audio equipment) also a 15amp No. 28

By today's NEC standards, all kitchens are required to have to have a minimum of two 20 amp circuits.
No, they each need their own breaker of the right amp. Neither of them would cause the breaker to trip if there was a problem.
The minimum size wire a 20 amp breaker needs to be connected to is a #12 wire. The 15 is probably connected to a #14 right now which is only rated for 15 amps. Remember the breaker is sized to the wires ampacity not the load .
Replace the 30 Amp Breaker with a 15 Amp breaker.
Yes as long as you change the 50 amp breaker to a 15 amp breaker. You will be hard pressed to get the 50 amp #6 wire under the terminals of the 15 amp receptacle.
