The terms used by yarn manufacturers are very varied and there is no standard meaning to any of them. Chunky and bulky are obviously similar in meaning, but the only way to see if yarns are equivalent is to compare the weight to length information given on the ball band.

There is no hard and fast number that I could give you as an answer. It all depends on what the yarn is made of, what "weight" the yarn is (sock versus bulky, for example). So, as asked, this isn't really an answerable question--there is too much unknown about your yarn to answer with any certainty. My best suggestion would be to go to the yarn manufacturers website and look there for your answer. Or, go back to where you purchased the yarn, and ask there.
An English equivalent to Berrocco Peruvia Quick would be a chunky or bulky weight yarn, such as Rowan Big Wool or Debbie Bliss Rialto Chunky. Both options offer a similar thickness and warmth, making them suitable for quick projects. When substituting, ensure to check the yarn's gauge and fiber content for the best match.
The only way to answer your question is for you to knit a samplegauge of the yarn you want to use, and then convert the pattern given the differences between your gauge and the gauge stated for the bulky yarn.

Usually yes. The best way to test it is to take a ruler and wrap the two strands together around the ruler continuously for one inch length (make sure the yard does not overlap, nor leave gaps). Then take a strand of chunky yarn and do the same. You should get the same number of rotations around the ruler for each. You may also want to note that using two yarns together of different colors will give you a nice heathered effect in the finished product.
No, instead you could use bulky weight of wool yarn.
