Yes. The bulb will be slightly dimmer, but will last much longer. Most 145V bulbs are intended to be used in 120V exit signs. The reason for the higher voltage rating on the bulb is because it will last a long, long time when used at 120V.
No, that would not be proper. The contact point of a light bulb socket has no need of any coating. A light bulb socket that is difficult to turn a bulb in will benefit from some light oil on the bulb threads prior to installing. Dielectric grease will harden, and is meant to insulate and protect electrical junctions from exposure and vibration.
Are we talking about long fluorescent "tubes"?The socket may be bad, or the tube is not seated correctly in it's socket.Some fixtures use a socket that the tubes "twist" into.Twist the tube slightly in either direction until it seems "seated".

Yes, absolutely. As long as the LED bulb and incandescent bulb have the same base they will both fit the socket. The LED bulb will also run much cooler than the original incandescent bulb.
If you reach behind the light you can twist and pull removing the light bulb socket. Pull out the light and install a new one and do the reverse to install.
yes
It can, but if you're wanting to run a 120v light bulb on DC, you'll need 120v DC to get the rated output. That's a lot of batteries. It's easier, and more sensible, to find a DC rated light bulb, such as an RV bulb.

The screw socket into which an ordinary light bulb is inserted.
All other things being equal, an incandescent light should not "flicker" whether it is connected to 120 or 130 VAC.
To convert a light bulb socket to an outlet, you can use a socket adapter that has an outlet built into it. This adapter can be screwed into the existing light bulb socket, allowing you to plug in and use electrical devices. Make sure to follow safety guidelines and consult a professional if needed.
