To size cable the amperage must be known. Use the following equation to find amperage. Amps = kW x 1000/1.73 x volts x pf.
A standard motor's power factor between 10 to 100 HP is .86 to .92.
Amps = 90 x 1000 = 90000/ 1.73 x 440 x .92 = 90000/700 = 128 amps.
Motor feeders have to be rated at 125% of the motor full load amperage. 128 x 125% = 160 amps.
A 2/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 175 and 185 amps respectively.

Yes. It will make your motor a little faster though, so it depends on what you are powering with this motor. IE Can the piece of eguipment be ran faster?
no
Use this formula to find amperage when kW is shown. Amps = kW x 1000/1.73 x Volts x pf. Use a power factor of .85 for the formula. Once the current is calculated re-ask the question for cable size for the calculated current.

Yes, however, the RPM will increase by 20%, if the motor is connected to a shaft or driving something that can not handle the torque, then you might run to heating issues or performance issues.

Should work at nearly full power as long as the polarities of the 4 pin plug are in sync and it is a 3 phase 50Hz motor. Do a regular temperature check under full operating conditions for the first hour to ensure speed is enough for cooling.
One way would be to hook it up to a supply (by itself, with no load) and measure the speed with a contact tachometer. If your supply is 60Hz, and the motor speed corresponded to one of the standard motor speeds, it would be a pretty safe bet you had a 60Hz motor. If the speed was about 20% faster than a standard speed, the motor is probably a 50Hz motor. Or 20% slower if you were running a 60Hz motor on 50Hz For instance, a 1750 RPM 50Hz motor would spin at about 2100 RPM if you ran it on 60Hz.
What effect will be there on the motor (Induction) output power when a 100kW 50hz motor is connected to a 60hz power supply.
Depends on the current rating which should be on the motor.
