It takes 1¼ amps on a 120 v supply, half that on a 240 v supply, so it is unlikely to blow a fuse. But the inrush current on switching it on might be 5 times that.
Yes, the halogen bulb would provide about 30% more brightness (lumens) for the same electric power rating. So 70 watt halogen is about equal to 90-100 watt incandescent.

Yes, you can use a 53-watt halogen bulb in a fixture rated for a maximum of 60 watts. Since the halogen bulb's wattage is below the fixture's limit, it should operate safely without overheating. However, it's always good practice to check the fixture's specifications and ensure proper ventilation.
Incandescents produce 10 lumens per watt, halogens about 13 lumens per watt, fluorescents and LEDs 40-50 lumens per watt. Lumens measure the brightness, watts measure the speed at which electrical energy is used.
No. Only replace lamps in a fixture that the manufacturer of the fixture recommends. By installing larger than recommended lamps this could create a fire due to the increase of heat generated by the over size lamp.
Yes. It just won't be as bright.
The average lifespan of a 60 watt halogen bulb is around 2,000 to 4,000 hours.
Halogen bulbs are about 30% more efficient so a 70 watt halogen does the job.
Approximately 15 lumens per watt for halogen, so 300 lumens.
Yes, the halogen bulb would provide about 30% more brightness (lumens) for the same electric power rating. So 70 watt halogen is about equal to 90-100 watt incandescent.
A halogen bulb IS ITSELF a type of incandescent illumination source. A 40 Watt traditional incandescent bulb usually emits about 400 to 500 lumens while a halogen may emit close to twice that. So a 25 W halogen might give out as much light as ah older style 40 W bulb.
No, it will not be. You will need at least a 50 watt halogen for outdoor lighting.

Probably a 50 watt halogen
A halogen bulb works equally well with AC or DC.
Should be about 850 lumens. The same brightness is produced by a 15 watt CFL.
