What gauge wire to use for 70 amp service going 200' underground?
I would recommend you use 1/0 gauge
What is the proper size wire cord for a 12 amp vacuum sweeper 120 volt?
16 gauge is rated at 13 amps, but I would use 14 gauge which is rated at 15 amps just to be safe.

What about distance of 14 gauge wire?
It depends on the load applied. With a load of 10 amps you would loose 5 volts at 100 feet. I would not run it over 50'. This is one of the reasons I never wire any home with AWG#14 wire even though you can use it in bedrooms. I prefer to use AWG #12.
What is the wire size required for 1800 watts for lamps?
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
