number 8 wire is rated for 40 amps, number 6 wire is rated for 50 amps Your stove manual should tell you, for that model stove, you could also look at the plug on the back of the stove, draw the pins on a sheet of paper, take the sheet of paper to the supply house with you when you go and someone behind the counter will tell you which breaker to get and what correct size wire to get to go with your stove.
In the UK the wire should be 4 mm2 cross section for a permanent installation. That size of wire is commonly stocked in DIY shops, with live-brown, neutral-blue and earth-bare conductors.
Many UK cookers are 30 amp which needs 6 mm2 cable; that is also easy to find.

There are no adptors to plug a 240v plug into a 120v receptacle. 240v requires two hot wores and a neutral and ground. 120v requires one hot wire, a neutral and a ground. If you have something that runs on 240/120 you need the cord and adaptor that came with the equipment as you willl need the wires to mate up accordingly.
no
Its on the specifications of the device you will plug
Shield is ground. White is Neutral, center tap of the transformer from the power company.
No. The electric part of the stove is probably the clock and timer, not the oven its self.

check the other fuse.
Check your laptops power adapter to see if it will handle both 240v(UK) and 110v(US) if it can handle 240v (which I believe most can) then all you need is a UK plug adapter.
Could be the outlet, could be an open wire, could be a loose connection. First thing I would do is check that the connections are tight. Then replace the outlet. That leaves the wiring... The connection is probably corroded. Check the plug, if it's black and pitted you probably should replace both the plug and outlet.
Electric Stoves Work in a weird way. When you plug it in a sends a signal to the mainframe. which causes an electric volt that hits the metal causing it to get hot.
yes

If you are looking for an electric heater that plugs into a stove, that holds 40-50 amps, you could check Academy. This is a store that sells camping items, which is where this would come in handy.
You still need a circuit breaker. From your question it appears your stove is hardwired to the panel. It is perfectly acceptable to connect it to a suitably specified outlet and plug for the voltage and amperes for the stove. Basically you would turn off the breaker, install an outlet on the floor or wall so as not to interfere with stove. You can buy cords with the proper plugs and mating receptacles in most any hardware store. For an electric stove with an oven you are usually talking about a 50A breaker and the corresponding outlet and plug. This can be dangerous and if you are not sure of what you are doing an electrician is highly recommended.
Dual voltage means it will operate safely with either 110/120V or 220/240V and all you need to operate it overseas is an electric adapter plug.
