The cord is a type S that is Oil and Water resistant.

No. However, a longer extension cord has higher resistance for a given wire gauge or size compared to a short extension cord and the voltage at the load device may drop so low that it doesn't work properly. This may also be accompanied by a noticeable rise in the temperature of the extension cord. As a rule, use the shortest extension cord that will get the job done. If the extension cord must be long, use one that has heavy gauge wire to minimize voltage drop at the load.
#16 <<>> To load an extension cord to 1725 watts depending on the length of the cord, the bare minimum should be #14. A better size cord and my recommendation would be a #12 wire size extension cord.
Yes, but with a heavier gauge wire <<>> If the cord on an electric heater needs to be lengthened as a perminant feature then the whole cord should be replaced with a new cord of the same type and wire size. What this prevents is aquiring bad splice connections at the point the connection is made. Bad splice connections will create hot spots in the cable. If the lengthening of the cord is just a temporary fix, just use an extension cord. The extension cord should be the same wire size as the heater cord. Keep the extension cord under 20 feet in length.
The most number of outlets on a multi outlet extension cord are six. Any more then six outlets on an outlet extension cord and it would become dangerous.
You can plug an extension cord into another extension cord. A extension cord is to help make doing something easier.

You have to get an extension cord and plug them into it and then plug the extension cord somewhere in your house, if you do not have some type of outdoor outlet. You might try to get the extension cord through a window and then close the window as much as possible.
Look on the cord for the designation SOW. This type of outdoor flexible cord is for use wet, damp or dry locations and is approved for extra hard usage.The letters mean, S - severe service cord, O - oil resistant outer jacket material and W - (CSA) weather and water resistant (approved for indoor and outdoor use)

It depends on the extension cord but I will give you 2 ways and they are each very simple. On a residential type (what I call a house burner) extension cord with just 2 conductors, you will find that the jacket of one wire is smooth and the other one has ridges. The one with ridges is your neutral or white conductor. On a more commercial type extension cord with conductors covered by a protective jacket, your conductors in the cord will be color-coded, with black being hot, white being neutral and green or bare being ground.

An extension cord holder is used to hold an extension cord. It wraps around the holder, for easy release and withdrawal.
Yes, it safe to touch a extension cord while its plugged in.
Yes, you can put the iPod Touch wall charger into an extension cord. That extension cord has to be plugged into a wall to be able to charge the iPod, though.
