Yes it's possible. After all, that is what you have a surge protector for.
And speaking of surge protectors, they can get old and need to be replaced periodically. You should buy one of the new ones because they provide much better protection then the older models do.

NO WAY!
What the PC needs is what it gets.
A big 600W power supply will only deliver 300watts if that is the demand from the PC.
ATX V2.2 power supplies are efficient and produce less heat. Efficiency is highest near the midpoint rating. Expect a 500-600W power supply to run cooler than a 300-350W power supply when the load is 300W.

It's possible, if the board and the power supply are not compatible. But that would fry the board. Usually not a problem unless you build your own comp.

yeah, the final stage of the power supply is the voltage regulator, and if that is malfunctioning, you're computer might be too!

No. Your power supply is regulated...however your compnents can draw more power than they're designed to.

Yea, some settings may change when you install certain programs and that kind of stuff.
I think you change that in the BIOS although I don't recommend even trying to -- it's too complicated and risky.

No... it's all regulated!
More power just means you can run more accessories with less strain.
