You may, but you may not like the end product. The lemon juice adds acidity like Orange Juice will that help to prevent spoilage, but lemon juice also contributes to the taste. Orange juice will too, but you may find it much sweeter.

Bacteria do not thrive in acid, both vinegar and lemon are acids. If the substitution will not change the taste then you should be safe enough but I would not apply this to every situation.

Lime juice will still offer the acidity needed to make any recipe "safe". It may also offer a slightly different flavor, but most would agree, not a bad one!

No, they have different levels of acid. Lemons are much more acidic than Oranges which is why it is used in canning.

If the purpose of using the juice is for the acid, yes, it's perfectly fine to substitute lemon juice for lime juice in canning.
