yes, most fuel today is about E10, Much higher concentrations will erode seals and other components of the fuel system. vehicles that are designed to use E85 have different materials used in the fuel system components that are compatible. Most FFVs will also have a sensor to detect the ratio of gasoline to alcohol.

YES, e85 is very corrosive and will destroy the complete fuel system and hoses on a non e85 vehicle.

Add to the good answers below if the tank was empty and E-85 was filled older low compression engine might not start. Some modern cars with 10 to 1 compression might start but they will be very underpowered (lean) because it takes about 20% more Ethanol to burn properly.
