A splice box is the same terminology as a junction box. The function of a junction box is to suppress the spread of fire. In an electrical system the most likely spot for a fire to start is where wires are connected together. Loose connection of joined wires will create a resistance point.
Over time with the current flowing through the connection it will heat and cool. This increases the resistance.
Without repairs to this situation there will come a time when this heat will reach a combustible temperature.
Depending on the type of junction box, it will suppress the spread of this fire by cutting off or limiting the oxygen supply to the fire.
If the wire connection splice was in an open wall, adjacent to combustible products, the fire could spread to wall studs and then combustion could overtake the whole building.
Yes, but you have to do it correctly. You should use 10 AWG wire. The splice should be in an approved electric box using the right size wire nuts. You secure and protect the extended wire and you should not "bury" the splice box in the wall, but cover it with an approved cover made for the purpose. If it is a surface mount box, cover it with a blank metal cover.

A 240 volt wire is the insulation factor of the wire. If you mean a 240 supply source from a distribution panel to a junction box then the answer is yes. You have to keep in mind that the box has to be accessible, meaning that you can get to the box to check the splice within the box. Don't bury the junction box behind the wall board.
The main ground should not have a splice to ensure continuity of the ground. The reality is that this is done in some cases. If the splice should loosen or be intermittent you will create a shock hazard.
It is the same type as the western union splice, where the two wires are overlapping and wound back on the opposite conductor.
Yes, it is common practice to splice conductors in a junction box when connecting them to a device such as a switch or outlet. Splicing ensures a secure and reliable electrical connection.
The only way you can splice Home electric wiring is with a junction box. Any other way will and can cause fires.
Yes, but you have to do it correctly. You should use 10 AWG wire. The splice should be in an approved electric box using the right size wire nuts.

If it is a surface mount box, cover it with a blank metal cover.
To properly splice electrical wires in a junction box, first strip the insulation off the wires, twist the exposed ends together, and secure them with a wire nut. Make sure the connection is tight and insulated with electrical tape. Finally, tuck the spliced wires neatly into the junction box and secure the box cover.
Wires are not to be spliced or otherwise connected except in an approved electrical box. The box should be accessible, such as an electric outlet or switch box. If you decide to NOT use the box as an outlet or switch box, make certain that you use a blank cover.
One splice that would work is a western splice.
The long splice, the short splice, the end splice, and the eye splice are probably the most commonly used types.

A short splice will nearly double the diameter of the material, but will be shorter in length and not as strong as a long splice.
A rat tail joint, more commonly called a rat-tail splice a very basic electrical splice used to connect two or more wires by wrapping them symmetrically around a common axis. It is not a mechanically strong splice and is intended for wires that are protected inside an enclosure or junction box.
