Wire size is governed by amperage not voltage. Voltage is an insulation factor when talking about wire. Add up the amperage of fixtures you want in the circuit. Once that is found then the size of the wire can be calculated.

'Lighting', or the amount of light is not measured in watts. A 'watt' is a unit of power, measurement of current drawn. Most 100 watt/110 volt lamps initially produce 1690 lumens (a 'lumen' is the measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted by a source). A 15 foot by 10 foot room is not very big, and one or two 100 watt incandescent lamps on a ceiling light fixture on a 120 volt service can light it adequately. I mention "110 volt" as in parts of the world with 220 mains these numbers change. As the voltage is doubled, the watts required would halve for the same amount of light. In other words, all other things being equal, a 50 watt 220 volt lamp should use the same amount of power, producing the same amount of light as a 100 watt 110 volt lamp.
A 277 volt lighting fixture is one that is usually used in an industrial application. The reason for this is the voltage rating. A voltage potential of 277 volts is the voltage to neutral (ground) of a three phase four wire 480 volt distribution system. 480 volts / 1.73 = 277 volts. Rather than having to add a transformer to the system to provide 120 volts for lighting, manufactures produced a ballast for fluorescent fixtures that operates on the 227 volt potential.
The higher the voltage, the less amperage is required and is easier to supply power to the device. Motors take much more power than lighting, therefore voltages may be higher for easier transmission.
No, do not waste your time.
Only if the lights in the rack are incandescent or fluorescent lamps. These use standard house 110 volt power. If you buy a rack that uses LED lighting, or add LED lighting to your existing rack, the voltage is very low and can't hurt you.

Yes, to the precision you can measure it. If it isn't you need to check the ground to neutral bonding at main panel and check the wiring in the circuit for loose connections.
Please re-phrase your question. A volt meter does not read volt amps.

Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.
To calculate the amperes for a fluorescent lamp using VA (volt-ampere), you can divide the VA rating by the voltage of the lamp. The formula is: Amperes = VA / Voltage. For example, if a fluorescent lamp has a VA rating of 60 VA and operates at 120 volts, the amperes would be 0.5A (60 VA / 120V).
