Don't do it unless it is exactly the same voltage and wattage as the Acer. The voltage and wattage are on the label of the power adapter.
2 :
Laptops use DC power adapters. Each laptop requires a specific adapter that outputs a particular Voltage and Amperage, this information can be found on the adapter. As long as these two numbers match for the Output side of the adapter, and the plugs are exactly the same, then you should be ok, otherwise using it could kill your laptop.

if you are talking about just cord and not the entire charger (cord and adapter) then its fine. if you want to use entire charger, then i dont think it will be possible. the volt requirement will be different and even the connector connecting the laptop and charger may be different..
4 :
Yes a very good chance you will kill your Acer unless it is an exact match which is highly unlikely.
