It might not be able to provide enough power for the system but I'm not too knowledgeable with this so thats just my 2 cents

If they both have the same connectors they might work. I believe they're standard. Do you have a picture?

Either should work perfectly fine, cables smaller than those carry higher amperages with no issues, (like a hair dryer, which can pull 1500W from the wall on a smaller cord).

Generally it's fine, however those power cords usually have a rating on them which would provide a more exacting answer. It honestly depends on your systems power draw, which is likely considerably less than the rating for the cord.

This begs the question of why do you need to switch the cords?

Go buy another thicker cord from a local electronics store? As far as I know they're pretty cheap... Just a few dollars and your problem's solved.
