The transformer will overheat or the fuse protection (if if has fuse protection) will trip and kill the power to the transformer. Wihtout protection, it may cause a fire.
there will be no neutral point in the circuit and high voltage will be across the transformer coils
If the number of turns in the primary is the same as the secondary, this would be an isolation transformer. Primary and secondary voltages should match (minus the inherent transformer losses), as should the current.
As well as providing a cooling medium, transformer oil is also used to insulate a transformer. As its dielectric strength (how well it insulates) is much higher than air, it means that components within a transformer that are at different potentials can be placed much closer together if they are immersed in oil. So, operating an oil-filled transformer without oil will likely cause insulation breakdown within the transformer.
You will have a very expensive but worthless transformer. Gold is not a ferromagnetic material, so it will not contain the magnetic flux needed to link the separate windings.
You cannot 'reverse' the polarity of a transformer -it is either wound with 'additive polarity' or 'subtractive polarity', and there's not much you can do about it! For a single transformer, its polarity doesn't really matter. But if you are going to parallel two transformers, then you must know the polarity of each transformer in order to avoid harmful circulating currents in their secondary windings.
That depends pn what you mean by `not installed properly`. If it is undersized you may continually kill blower motors and/or heat exchangers, have noise issues and of course not heat or cool the home properly.
The transformer will have the maximum efficiency.

it would be called a step up transformer
It will get core saturation
You cannot 'change' the 'rated power' of a transformer except by changing the transformer for another one. You can, though, operate the transformer below its rated power or, for short periods of time, operate the transformer aboveits rated power.
its efficiency will decresed.
The coupling between windings will be nearly zero, resulting in nearly zero output. In short, your transformer's not going to work.

Generally this would happen if the main sewage line was running slow usually due to being partially plugged or undersized.

it won't get as hot
