The NEC does not limit the receptacles in a residents. Industrial it is limited to 180 watts each.
No, they each need their own breaker of the right amp. Neither of them would cause the breaker to trip if there was a problem.
Yes, you can. It will be fully protected as it can actually handle a 30 amp breaker.
I've never heard of a 50 amp b-e-a-k-e-r. You can put a 50 amp b-r- e-a-k-e-r in a 60 amp panel; but you can only have an additional 10 amp breaker along with it. You may need to consider adding another larger panel or a separate 50 amp breaker box.
If your question is can you use a #6 flexible SOOW cord and put a 30 amp plug on it, then yes. The breaker that feeds the receptacle that the cord will plug into can be no larger than a 30 amp breaker. What limits the cord capacity to 30 amps is the ratings of the plug on the end of the cord.
The National Electrical Code (US) allows up to thirteen 20 amp receptacles on a 20 amp circuit. 120V x 20A = 2400 VA each duplex receptacle is calculated at 180 VA 2400 / 180 = 13.3333 receptacles, since you can't put a third of a receptacle in, you have to round down to 13.
A 32 amp fixture can not be fed from a 20 amp breaker as the breaker will trip every time.
No, they each need their own breaker of the right amp. Neither of them would cause the breaker to trip if there was a problem.

If you put a 85 amp breaker in there it will overheat from the starting and stopping of the motor. The extra size of the breaker insures that the furnace will run without interruption and without overheating the breaker. And electric motor can draw three times the amperage rated on start up momentarily. This is why there is need of extra amperage ratings.
Not legally because the rating of the 30 amp receptacle would have a 50 amp breaker ahead of it. If you reduced the feed breaker to 30 amps and still use the #6 wire, this would be within the electrical code rules.

20-amp breakers can be found for many different voltage levels. The higher-voltage ones tend to be more expensive. A breaker can be used in a circuit of equal or lower voltage than the rated voltage of the breaker.
No, the breaker size is too big. A 1 HP, 230 volt motor draws 8 amps. The electrical code recommends for a motor with a full load amps of 8 amp that it use either 25 amp non time delay fuse, 15 amp time delay fuse or a 20 amp two pole breaker. These sizes will work up to 11 amp full load amps.
The only way you can change a 15 amp to a 20 is you have to replace the 14 gauge wire going to it with a 12 gauge wire, then replace the 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker. You can put a 15 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit as long as there is more then one receptacle. A double receptacle counts as two receptacles. Steve Green Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
As many as you need. Just make sure the main breaker of the subpanel stays below 50 amps (the rating of the subpanel) and the input to the subpanel, whichever is lower.
