The answer is just that: the voltage that the outlet has available. The issue is when you plug a 110 volt appliance into a 220 volt outlet (or vica verca) you are either under powering or over powering the device and can (and probably will) ruin it either way.

You should not be able to plug a 110 volt device into a 220 volt outlet due to the different blade configurations. This is why different voltages have different plug ends and receptacles have different blade configurations.
There is no need to convert a 110-volt outlet to 115 volts as they are essentially the same. The slight variation is within the normal tolerance range for electrical systems. If you need to use a device that requires 115 volts, you can safely plug it into a 110-volt outlet without the need for an adapter.
You would have to run new wires to obtain 240 volts or use a step-up transformer.
Yes, a 110 volt device can be plugged into a 125 volt receptacle. The voltage rating on the receptacle is only there as the highest voltage supply that the manufacturer recommends their equipment be connected to.
No, the plugs are different to prevent this and even if you could the lamp would be very dim.
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
Yes.

No, the applied 110 volt is too high for a 3 volt appliance. The appliance would burn out right away.
Yes - a hair-dryer rated at 120 volts will work in a 110 volt outlet.
Nominally 110 to 120 volt power strip is okay to connect to a standard outlet.
No conversion needed. These are nominal voltages which range from 110 to 120 volts. It will operate fine on the outlet.

Because a toaster does not pull near the current that a cloths dryer does.
