Yeah you can. It's better to use the plastic blockers that come on the rope, But it won't hurt your rope to use wire blocks.
Yes.

More information is needed really as the answer depends hugely on the application. For example, yes you could tow a friends broken down car with a steel cable of equal strength to the nylon tow rope. ....but not, you could not replace a nylon rope used to moor a boat with (untreated) steel cable as it wuold rust. Nylon rope also has some "give" in it, allowing it to absorb some shock as tension is taken, it is also an excellent insulator. Steel has almost no give at all and is a fairly good conductor (though not brilliant when efficient conduction is required). So it depends massively on your application - all answers from "absolutely not" to "it would be even better" can appy. Mark
Spandex nylon

Women's nylon stockings. Also cloth, rope, brushes, and many more items are made from nylon
Nylon rope is available at all hardware and boating supplies stores. Most ropes are made from cheaper plastic fibers like polypropylene. Nylon is reserved for places where the rope is handled and a softer feel is desired.
The difference between nylon and dacron rope is that nylon stretch but dacron dose not!
rope is 1.5mm thick
When tying down a large tent the best rope to use is any nylon rope. Nylon rope doesn't soak up moisture like a rope made of natural fibers, but it has just enough give to hold the tent in place.
Nylon is a commonly used material in rope because it is exceptionally strong and rope and wire are basicly the same thing. So pretty much it just means making rope out of nylon.
The braided rope is better because it is made from nylon or polyester. It can hold heavier weights than a regular rope. It can stretch and some polyesters are waterproof.
In this day and age, yes. Strong ropes are usually made of many braided pieces of nylon, which are then braided with braids of the same size to make your rope. You get the idea ; )
Hemp and nylon are good sources for rope.
plastic and nylon. some metal where the rope goes through
Yes, nylon rope typically floats in water due to its low density and ability to repel water.
