Sorry- there are too many variables to give you a simple answer. Depends on which bullet, fired by which rifle, at which wood, at which distance, at what angle. Depends on civilian .223, or military 5.56mm. The military round at 25 yards will penetrate more than one dozen 3/4 inch thick pine boards when hitting at a 90 degree angle. That is more than 9 inches of wood.
Caliber refers to the diameter of a bullet (bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired out of the gun). A .223 caliber bullet is .223 inches across. It is normally used as a rifle cartridge. a .45 caliber bullet is more than twice as wide as a .223, and is usually used in pistols. The .223 is lighter- it weighs about 1/4 of a .45 bullet, and they are different shapes- .223 is usually pointed, the .45 is rounded.
Noop. an M16 fires a 5.56mm (or .223 caliber) bullet. A .45 caliber shoots a bullet that is ~11.43mm.
@ 3 miles
.001 inches. Makes a difference depending on what you are shooting, how old the barrel is, etc..
It depends on what you mean. Strictly speaking, a .223 cartridge has a .22 caliber bullet, but when people say .22, they are usually referring to .22 Short, Long Rifle, or Magnum cartridge, which is different than .223.

Need to know rate of twist and what you are going to use it for.
In terms of power, or diameter? A .22 has a bullet diameter of .223 inches, the same as the .223 Remington and 5.56 military cartridge. The .222 Remington actually has a bullet diameter of .224 inches.
No, a .223 bore and a .22 bore are not the same width. The .223 Remington cartridge has a bullet diameter of approximately 0.224 inches, while the .22 caliber typically refers to a bullet diameter of 0.223 inches. While they are very close in size, the .223 is slightly larger than the traditional .22 caliber bullets, which include .22 Long Rifle and others.
Generally, a bullet's caliber has NOTHING to do with its accuracy. So your question cannot be answered. However, a 9mm is usually a handgun round, used at close range (0-15meters). A .223 is typically used at longer ranges, but could be used close-up as well. At distances greater than 20 meters, up to 500 meters, the .223 will be more accurate, if the weapon is dialed-in.
The AR 15 is a rifle, not a caliber. the .223 is a caliber. Usually the AR-15 is made in caliber .223.
