Change the cord/plug on the stove to a four wire cord/plug. When installing the new plug remove the grounding strip that connects the center lug in the stove wiring block to the frame of the stove. Connect the white wire from the new plug to the center lug. Connect the green wire from the plug to the stove frame.

Yes 220 & 240 are considered the same.
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
For a 30 amp 240 volt circuit, a wire size of 10 AWG should be used.
For a 240 volt 40 amp circuit, the appropriate wire size is typically 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper conductors.
No. I wouldn't try it. Check on the number of amps that the stove uses. Then you can calculate what size wire you will need. The amp rating on a #12 wire is 20 amps. A 240 volt stove needs a minimum of 40 amps. This supply is brought to the stove on a #8 wire rated at 45 amps R90 insulation. This supply wire is protected by a two pole 40 circuit breaker situated in your electrical panel. If you use a #12 wire and apply the total stove load, the insulation will melt off the wire and short out.
It could if you don't get the terminals and motor wires on the correct terminals.

It depends on the voltage, but if you are using it on a 240 v system, it's quite OK to use wire that can take 600 v (if you had to buy the wire, you would be spending too much).
For optimal safety and performance, it is recommended to use a 4-foot long, 3-wire power cord with a 240-volt rating for an electric stove.
For a 40 amp 240 volt circuit, a wire size of at least 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure safety and proper functioning of the circuit.
You can't. The 120 volt GFCI is probably just a 2-wire (hot, neutral and ground) You would have to run a new 3-wire (2 hots, neutral and ground). The two hots are how you get the 240 volts (120+120=240). Also you must make sure the wire is gauged properly. #10 wire for 30 amps, #12 wire for 20 amps, etc.
