The first thing we have to do is clarify the question. A cable rating of 125 volts is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. So to answer the question yes, the 125 volt insulation rating on the cable can be used to supply a source of 120 volts to a 120 volt rated piece of equipment.
No, it won't get enough power and won't work.
When equipment is run at a lower voltage than it is designed for, it does not operate correctly. A light will glow dimly or not at all, a heater produces much less heat. Electronic equipment may not function at all.
A 'volt ampere' (not 'volt amp'!) is the unit for theapparent power of a load in an a.c. circuit. It is simply the product of the supply voltage and the load current.
When purchasing a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), you need to match the power needs of your system according to the unit of measure called volt-amperes or VA. This ensures that the UPS can support the power requirements of your equipment and provide sufficient backup power during outages.
If the manufacturer specifies that a certain voltage is needed for their equipment, then that is the voltage that must be applied to it. To do otherwise may ruin the equipment and void the manufacturer's warranty.
Point three three or 1/3rd of a volt will power any piece of equipment that is designed to operate on that voltage. To put it into perspective 1 volt = .33 volts x 3.

No! You would damage it beyond repair.
208 volt, three phase
Not enough to make any difference to any type of equipment that you want to run.
No, it won't get enough power and won't work.

No, but check the specification on the power bar to see what its maximum voltage rating is. There will be a bit of cord end cutting to get the right configuration for 240 volt equipment.
You can expect it to burn out the piece of equipment it's attached to. Maybe not right away, but fast enough.
Two factors reduce the power used by a piece of equipment compared to the volt-amps drawn from the supply: power factor and harmonic factor. Both factors increase the power transmission losses incurred in supplying a given amount of power.The power factor is less than 1 when voltage and current are out of phase with each other.When they are in phase the power equals the volt-amps except for a nonlinear load with a current that is not proportional to voltage. This generates harmonics in the current and the effect is that the power is less than the volt-amps, by an amount equal to the harmonic factor.
Yes.
temporary it blows or KABOOOMM....
