Would my fridge then get 220v instead of 110v

by adding an extra cable you wont get 220 instead of 110. this is because power cords are one active (called phase) and one inactive (called nul). if you do that there are two possiblitties:
you get 110v or you get 0v.
in the first case you have connected phase to phase and nul to nul this is equal to one cable. hence you've wasted a cable and plug. in the 2nd (phase to nul and nul to phase) you will get a fuse blow out or a fire that is so dangerous.
in these two cases your fridge probabely wont damage but if you insist to burn it out you can use a 110 to 220 transformator.
your fridge designed to work with 110v then the only way is to buy a more powerfull fridge or try to work better with it. like do not put warm or hot things in it and dont place it near a heat source and things like this...

only if the second receptacle was on a different circuit(a whole other breaker at the panel) but no it would not run twice as fast, but would prolly burn up twice as fast when it catches on fire

A fridge does not have legs, feet, or running shoes...How can it run faster???

Theoretically and mathematically, yes.

then when someone called and told you your refrigerator was running, you might not be able to catch it!

No you can't do that.
