Just purchase a rebuilt one and trade the old one in.
Purchase a power inverter.
I hope not, it'll cook the 12 volt DC system.

No! You would damage it beyond repair.
Yes. It is done all the time in automotive electrical systems. The alternator, which creates AC, has its current rectified using diodes.
If we are talking about cars only: the system that charges the 500 volt battery in a Hybrid is a Alternator. So in theory there is no limit. Most cars are "12 volt" (common usage, incorrect) systems.
No, not unless you installed a 6 volt battery instead of a 12 volt battery.
You wouldn't. Terminology wrong? An alternator is a generator that generates AC.

Change all the bulbs on the car, the radio, clock, battery, starter, and generator or alternator.
It is a 12 volt alternator. I think what you are looking for is how many amps is it. Most of them are 105 amp alternators.
If you can get the battery to run the motor, write it up in a science journal. You'll be rich. Sure but what are you going to use to power the 12 volt motor? You will have to use another battery which you could just use to power the radio in the first place.
