Depends what the product is. If it has an internal fuse or overload protection, it may be okay. Otherwise, it's been toasted. Trash.

The product probably tried to draw twice the current to make up for the lack of voltage, and fried itself.
If this product is worth over a few US$100, then it might be worth repairing. If it is worth less than US$100, then it is not worth repairing.

Depends on the product. However unless you know some one who understands electricity, I wouldn't try it again.

Chances are you've cooked the insides of whatever it was you connected. Doubtful if it is repairable! Get someone to look at it though.

You will burn out the motor if it got one.
