Probably about the same, actually. The technology for bass guitar pickups and Electric Guitar pickups are very similar, with only slight differences. Still, you're going to sound better on a guitar with a guitar pickup.
No--because the sound vibrations are longer on a bass than on a guitar, playing an electric bass on a guitar amp will blow the amp. You can play a guitar through a bass amp, though.

Like a guitar but 1 octave lower
Short answer: yes. Long answer: no. The truth is, you canplay a guitar through a bass amp but it will not give you the sound that a guitar amp will. Bass amps are engineered for very low wavelengths produced by the bass. After time, the bass amp will actually begin to break down and sound muddier and muddier the longer you play an electric guitar through it. Spend a few extra dollars and get a nice guitar amp. The sound will be superior anyway.
An electric bass guitar is often used with acoustic ensembles, but there is the problem of a too-loud amplified bass guitar. This disturbs the sound of the whole ensemble. The bass has never been the loudest sounding instrument of that group.
It makes it louder
First of all, a "bass-guitar" is not a "bass-guitar" it's a electric bass. To tell the difference between a electric bass and a guitar is the electric bass has a lower sound to fit into the beat and the guitar has a higher pitch sound, even a acoustic guitar.
it picks up the sounds frrom the bass
A bass guitar is really low sounding and the highest string on a bass guitar is the lowest on an electric guitar.

looks and protection, yet sometimes may effect sound just a bit.
bass is lower so depends on what you want
6 string guitar = treble electric bass= bass
