yes
Another (corrected) answer.NO! The circuit breaker is there to protect the wiring from overheating. It wouldn't matter where on the circuit you decided to put the 14 gauge wire, you would need to change the breaker to 15 Amp if you did that. Using 14 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit is a fire hazard and contrary to UBC.Contact your local building and zoning department to verify.
no
You can provided the protecting breaker for the circuit is 20 Amps or less.
You need a 60 amp breaker.
Yes, as long as the fuse or circuit breaker is rated for the smallest wire in the circuit, which in this case appears to be the 14 guage. Suppose the 14 guage is rated for 15 amps and the the 12 guage is rated for 20, and there is a 20-amp breaker on the circuit. Now suppose you have a short that draws 18 amps. The 14 guage wire will burn and catch fire, yet the breaker will not trip. That could be dangerous.
Minimum size is 10 gauge with a 30 amp breaker. To be safe I would install an 8 gauge with a 40 amp breaker.

Yes. I am assuming this is a residential question. A better answer is...if the 8 recessed lights draw fewer than 16 amps together, it is good.

14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.

Does it surge past 120?? Drops are due too the fact that there are too many outlets or devices on one line. Trace the line that you have a voltage drop in and find which breaker it is, if the line that comes off the breaker is a 12 gauge wire and the breaker is a 15amp breaker you can put in a 20amp breaker. If the line is a 14 gauge line then you must leave the 15amp breaker in place and remove a device from it.
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.

The dash lights on an Explorer are used to light the warning symbols and to illuminate the speedometer, gas gauge, and RPM gauge. These lights are controlled by fuses.
