No, it is not safe to plug a 110V device into a 220V outlet. The voltage difference can damage the device and may cause a short circuit or even a fire hazard. It's important to match the voltage requirements of the device with the outlet to prevent damage or safety risks.
To rewire a 220V water heater to 110V, you would need to change the heating element to one that is compatible with 110V. You would also need to adjust the wiring connections in the water heater to accommodate the lower voltage. It is recommended to consult a qualified electrician to ensure proper and safe rewiring of the water heater.
Connecting a 220V appliance to a 110V power source can damage the appliance and potentially cause a fire. The appliance is designed to run on 220V input, so using a lower voltage can overload its components. It's important to use the correct voltage to ensure safe and proper operation.
Depends. Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them. If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.
A common reason for a 220V wire to only have 110V is that the circuit is wired in a split-phase configuration, where each conductor is carrying 110V with respect to a neutral wire. This configuration is typical in residential electrical systems where 220V appliances use two 110V legs. It's important to ensure proper wiring and connections to avoid safety hazards or damage to electrical devices.
Neither are safe voltages unless used in the correct and sensible manner.

220v and 110v are almost the only voltages used around the world because they are the most efficient.

yes, but you need a transformer to convert it,
All three, on 110V a split receptacle, on 220V a baseboard heater, on 440V a construction heater or similar resistive load.
Yes. If the computer power input is only rated for 110V input, you can power it from 220V by using a voltage converter from 220V to 110V with appropriate wattage. Some computer power supplies also have a switch for setting 110V/220V in which case computer can be powered from 220V after changing the setting. Most of the portable computers/laptops have power adapters which are rated for universal voltage (e.g. my Dell laptop AC adapter is rated for 100-240V 50-60Hz).
