Some small stuff - like cellphone chargers - are clever enough to adapt to the voltage they're connected to and will do just fine.
Stuff that isn't will overload and be destroyed.
If a 12 volt appliance is connected to a 120 volt outlet, it would likely get damaged due to the excessive voltage. The appliance is designed to run on 12 volts, so the higher voltage could overwhelm and fry its electrical components. It's important to always match the voltage requirements of an appliance with the electrical supply to prevent damage.
If the supply voltage is Vs and the equipment voltage is Va, then the equipment will work if Va = Vs (equation). But if Vs / Va = 220 / 120 (equation) the equipment will fail.
The appliaance is designed for 110-120 v so if it is fed at 115 v that is quite OK.
because your appliance is connected to the L1(secondary coil1) and your meter reading voltage is on the other coil (secondary2) It is called Mutual Induction ! Between the 2 coils on the secondary side of TRANSFORMER I wish i could draw it out
The safe operating range of voltages for the appliance should be marked on the back, near where the cable enters the device. Using an applicance at an excessive voltage could cause overheating which might destroy the appliance and could cause a fire.

The formula you are looking for is R = E/I.
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
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, the two voltages are in the same voltage range.
Yes, but you are limited to the amount of current draw the 120 volt load can apply to the adapter.

No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
120/240 volts is the working voltage in North America.
