A rifled slug can be fired from a smoothbore barrel with relative accuracy to about 100 yards. By relative accuracy, I mean that shots can be held in a 5 inch circle. That is about the size of the target zone on a deer. For a rifled barrel, rifled slugs should NOT be used, but sabot slugs can be.
The 20-gauge shell will fall into the barrel and lodge. When a properly fitting 12-gauge shell is chambered and fired, it will blow up the barrel and you will have a very bad day.
The danger is that the shell will fall forward, blocking the barrel, but allowing a 12 gauge shell to be loaded. If that is fired while the barrel is locked, the gun will likely blow up, destroying gun and injuring the shooter and innocent bystanders.

Depends on the specific loading, but muzzle velocity is ABOUT 1000 to 1100 Feet per second.
The concept of the gauge originated with pistols, and later shotguns. The gauge described the size of the barrel by the fraction of a pound of a round iron ball that just fits the barrel. For example, a 12 guage shotgun has a barrel that will just fit a round iron ball that is one twelfth of a pound. This measurement stemmed from cannon measurements, which measured the cannon by the size of the cannon ball it fired (such as a 6 pound cannon, or 20 pound cannon). There are different gauges that describe thickness, including the American Wire Gauge that measures the thickness (diameter) of electrical wire, US Steel Wire Gauge for steel wire, Sheet Metal Gauge, etc.
