Yes, they do. The gauge of a guitar string determines its thickness and therefore its pitch.
What gauge string you use is all about personal preference. There is no gauge that is "good" for it its what you like and can use comfortably.
For the same gauge designation, yes. "Standard" or "Regular" gauge acoustic strings are .013 to .056. Those would be considered very heavy strings on electric guitar, where "Standard" or "Regular" gauge strings would be .010 to .046.
It could depend on the gauge, but it's usually G.
It depends on the string gauge. Thinner strings can be tuned standard, while you may want to drop-tune if you are using a heavier gauge string.
it meant for either a light gauge set with a high E or A string on a heavy gauge set.

Guitar string gauge is a personal preference. However, for heavy metal you will most likely want to use a lighter string.

low E string in a light gauge set, A string in a heavy gauge set. Strings can go on any size where you see say that 42 on
It means light or very light gauge.
Normally a 12 string is just 6 pairs of strings. The guitar can be tuned normally EADGBE (low to high) and the smaller strings of the pairs tuned an octave higher than their mate. Except the high E string which is in unison because the high "E"s are the same gauge string. Then it should play like a 6 string guitar.
second thickest if its a 4 string bass or 6 string guitar
Yes it is. It is not recommended to do this all the time though, as each gauge string exerts different stress and tension on the guitar neck. It's best to do this only until you can get yourself new strings.
