The 2 amp (about two hundred watts at household voltage) difference isn't that significant so the construction of the sockets should not differ greatly unless they are made of different conducting materials (aluminum/copper). The 15A socket should have thicker contacts or wiring to support the extra amperage or better construction to conduct away the extra heat that might be generated.

"S.S.O." likely stands for "Single Socket Outlet." "13A" indicates that the outlet is rated for a maximum current of 13 amps.
A 13A switch socket outlet is a type of electrical socket that can accommodate plugs with a maximum current rating of 13 amps. It typically includes a switch to control the flow of electricity to the socket. This type of outlet is commonly used for appliances and devices that require higher power consumption.
Watts from a socket is dependant upon what the load connected draws. The maximum capacity from a socket is calculated by the following equation, W = A x V. So the maximum wattage you are able to draw from the socket before the fuse blows is W = 13 x 220 = 2860.
Yes provided the adaptor, or the plug that is plugged in, has a 13A fuse.
To calculate VA (volt-amp), you can use the formula: VA = Volts x Amps. So, for 13A at 110V, the VA would be 1430 VA.
