Yes you may. It is just condensation from the cooling coils where it exchanges hot/cool air and extracts the moisture. Be careful about extending your drain tube if there is one. Your pump on a whole house airconditioner is rated for certain lengths and you may have to add a larger pump if you extend it, to keep the warranty in force or not damage it.

Absolutely! They love it!
I just moved to a country place and our water is metered so we have to pay for each and every drop. The a/c is in the wall on the verandah, so it's really simple for me to put a pail under it and catch all the 'free' water. The previous owner just let it drip onto the floor.
Saves the wood from rotting and saves me money on the watering!
During the last hot spell, I couldn't keep up with the pails. Also, all the water is nice and warm for the plants, If there are any pollutants in the water you'd never know it by my plants!!

Yes, make sure it is room temperature. many people don't know that very cold water can shock plants. Think about it-jump under a very cold shower, you'll see!

Yes.
You can also catch the water from the air conditioner drip line on your house and use that water.

Yep! Do it all the time. I carry it out to my impatiens and they are lovely. It's just water.

i dont know if you want to, it might have air pollutants in it, too that could be bad for plants to soak up in the roots...
