Is it safe to cut and splice wire a normal 12v-125 amp 1625 watts max extension cord into a hanging light chandeliere fixture that has just two electrical wires?

I assume you mean 125v, 12 amps and 1625 watts max extension cord. This is not technically a proper installation but it should work. The concern is how long are you running the extension cord and how and where are you making the splices. There are a lot of issues at hand that cannot be answered without more information.
Electricians generally dislike extension cords. Usually the conductors are small enough they will MELT AND BURN at a current flow that will NOT TRIP THE BREAKER. You should consider it temporary at best. It should not be forgotten nor hidden in a wall or ceiling under ANY circumstances.

Can you use a 240V hanging light fixture in the USA?
As long as it's a regular incandescent light fixture, and the sockets will accept US bulbs, with provisions for grounding, then yes. You may need to upgrade the wiring to a heavier guage; I'd suggest 14 guage stranded wire through the entire fixture. If it's not incandescent, then no, unless it has a multi-tap ballast.

What type of conductors shall be used for wiring on fixture chains?
The type of wire you are looking for is called lamp cord. It comes in different colours usually to match the fixture. Fixtures hanging from chains use a clear insulation so as to blend in with the fixture chain colour. Remember that the smooth wire of the lamp cord connects to the hot wire and the ribbed wire on the lamp cord connects to the neutral wire in the ceiling junction box.
