No, you cannot simply cap one leg of a 240-volt circuit and change the breaker to convert it into a 120-volt outlet. This requires rewiring the circuit to provide 120 volts, including changing the outlet and possibly other components to be compatible with the lower voltage. It's recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to properly convert the outlet.

Can wires be disconnected from a circuit breaker and be capped and lefted in the circuit breaker panel box?

Yes. It's totally fine just tuck them out of the way and cap off separately. It would be impossible to pull that wire out as its probably stapled off inside the wall


Can wires disconnected from a circuit breaker be left in the circuit breaker panel if they are capped with wire nuts?

It is generally not recommended to leave disconnected wires in a circuit breaker panel, even if they are capped with wire nuts. This can lead to confusion in the future and potentially create a safety hazard. It is best to remove the wires completely if they are no longer needed.
