The battery might drain
It won't work.
Current stops flowing.
You can not unless the installation is a motor and cost is not important. Depending on the amount of money you want to spend to make this happen there is a device on the market called a VFD ( Variable Frequency Drive). On the three phase input terminals you apply your single phase voltage. On the output terminals you connect your three phase motor. When run in this configuration there is an internal switch that has to be changed to let the VFD know that it should be looking for only two lines on the input to be hot. Other wise the VFD thinks that there is a line loss on the three phase input terminals and the unit will not start.
The brightness of three bulb would be mare than one
The amperage of the circuit increases and the voltage drop across the appliances will tend to increase.
None of The terminals would work

there will be little or no change

If a battery is "shorted", meaning that its terminals are connected together through a low resistance, high current flows in the connection and the battery becomes discharged very soon. It makes no difference whether any part of the battery is connected to ground.
Nothing. An auto battery system is 12V DC. If both terminals aren't in the loop (positive through the current path and back to negative) nothing happens.
It won't work.
Usually nothing. (You would not get a reading either) The other way around (connected to measure current but set on voltage reading) will burn a fuse or the device entirely. On my Fluke 23 it will blow the fuse.
Get emergency medical care
you die
Nothing will happen to the rest of the lights if they are connected in paralell. If they are connected in series when one light is broken all of the lights go out.
If terminals of the battery are reversed, it will short the device that is using the battery. On a car reversing the cables can blow fuses, melt wires, and fry computers.
