I think you mean a d.c. power supply, not a transformer which is an a.c. device. The rule is that the power supply's voltage must match that of the load, but its current rating must exceed that of the load. So it is perfectly fine for a 12-V 2.5 A power supply to be used with a 12-V, 1000-mA load (it is the load that determines the current drawn from the power supply).

Depending on what is connected. Check the specifications for what you're using the transformer for - is 2500mA needed, or is less than 2000mA needed? If more than 2000mA is needed, your transformer will overheat and fail eventually, so it's not a good idea. Bigger is always safer.

Depends on the load being run off it. If the device you're powering off it draws less than 2 amps, then yes.

Why we used ac volt in supply line instead of dc volt?

AC voltage is more sufficient than DC voltage. Moreover, an AC transformer can be developed but DC voltage will make it harder. Without a transformer, we cannot turn the high and low voltaged into each-other.
