Yes of course, power is power, all 110volt, what ever the source in your house (except a dryer circuit that is usually higher).

The difference is the amperage of the circuit. Lighting circuits have amperage controlling breakers that are usually 15amp, power circuits are usually 20amp but excepting a very very unusual condition you would not need to worry about it.

What is the common way of referring to a plug and its corresponding socket as per the electrical engineering terminology?

Plug and socket, plug and socket outlet, plug and receptacle or plain plug and outlet all seem to be in common usage in the US. Plug and socket is possibly the only wording commonly used in the UK. [Plug and socket outlet sounds ok to a me, as a Brit, but we never really use that expression in the UK. Plug and outlet or plug and receptacle actually sound very strange!]
