Will using a 12 v 1200 Ma plug for a 9 v 1000 Ma appliance work?

Attempting to run a 9v 1000mA device from a 12v 1200mA power supply will most likely damage it.
Gree Fully, today's electronics are dependant on a precise set of values to operate efficiently. Ant deviation of any one value will effect the rest adversely. This will include values greater and less than recommended {i.e. 9.5V can not properly run recommended 9V nor 10V dependant circuits}. The components are manufactured with less and less tolerances I suppose for economical reasons. The days of seeing {+/-} are getting slim lol.

How do you wire a 3 wire appliance to a L-1420 plug?
A L14-20p is a 125/250 volt twist lock plug. I have never seen them used on appliances in the home. You may have the wrong plug for the appliance. See Discuss Question.
Why would you get a shock when unplugging an appliance that is turned off - I accidentally touched the metal prong on the plug as I was unplugging it - Was this why?
The switch to the appliance is down stream from where the power comes in from the plug. Even though the appliance is turned off at the switch the appliance has electricity up to the switch. As you stated there will be voltage potential right up until the pins of the appliance become disengaged from the receptacle If you have ever noticed a three blade plug, the ground pin is longer that the hot and neutral blades. What this accomplishes is that when plugging in a device the ground is made first and when un-plugging the ground is the last to be disconnected. By holding the appliance you were at the same ground potential as the appliance. By touching the "hot" side of the plug when pulling it out you became the return path for the electricity to flow. If you had touched the neutral side of the plug when pulling it out you would have felt nothing. Be careful when removing plugs from receptacles. Always pull on the plug body and never on the appliance's cord

'Voltage' is electromotive force, and the 'Watt' is a unit of power. You can plug a 240 watt appliance (light, toy, radio etc) into a 120 volt socket as long as the appliance is rated for 120 volt AC operation.
If an appliance does not work at all when you plug it in and turn the switch on the appliance circuit is what?
The appliance's circuit is open.

Change the receptacle and the plug is the best way to do this. Provided you use a properly rated plug, changing the plug type will not affect the appliance at all.
