In the UK builders' hand-tools for use on outdoor sites run on 110 v and you can get a portable 3 kVA transformer to convert 240 to 110 for about £30 if you look around.
The 110 v secondary has a centre-tapped earth so that both lives wires are 55 v to earth.
No, it won't get enough power and won't work.
Never heard of a power tool that runs on 100 volts AC. It would have to be 108 to 120 volts or 220 to 240 volts. It will work on the 120 volt outlet if is it 60 hertz in the U.S. or 50 Hrtz in some other countries. If it is 50 Hrtz then do not use it in the U.S. without a converter.
No, you cannot simply change the wall plug to make a 110 volt outlet support a 240 volt appliance. The voltage requirements of the appliance and the outlet must match for safe operation. You would need to install a dedicated 240 volt outlet and ensure that the wiring and circuitry can handle the higher voltage. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for this type of electrical work.
No, the appliance is wired for a heavier circuit (240v). You wouldn't even be able to plug it in because the 240 plug and the 110 receptacle don't match. They're designed that way so they're fool proof.
No, a 240 volt string of Christmas lights is designed to be used with a 240 volt socket. Plugging it into a 110 volt socket may damage the lights and pose a safety hazard. Be sure to always use lights with the correct voltage rating.
no
No, it won't get enough power and won't work.
The pin configuration of the 240 volt receptacle is different from a 120 volt pin configuration. This is a safety factor to prevent the wrong voltage being applied to the wrong devices.

Yes
Not unless you have a 110 volt supply to plug it in to. The standard General Power Outlet in Australia is 240 volts AC at 50 Hertz.

It won't run.

You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
No, they will not perform properly.
