Yes you can. However, Soccer studs are shorter beneath the sole of the boot than the regulation Rugby ones ( that is not an issue from a regulation perspective) and it does mean that grip is reduced. You would need to make sure that you have the type off boots that have screw in studs and replace them with the longer version - Normally the heel studs are the regulation length so you need to buy all heels studs. To check on stud regulation you can access the IRB site and search for boot regulations - there is a load of good info there to help you with rugby and the proceures and laws.

Usually you wear a rugby jersey, rugby shorts, rugby socks and boots. Some people like myself wear headgear and 99.999% of people wear mouth guards

Many players where soccer boots however, rugby "boots" have a higher ankle area to protect that area when rucking or be rucked over. The term "Rugby boot" actually refers to the earliest foot-ware which were in fact working boots. the studs were small studs which were used to reduce wear on the sole on the boot. These were worn by the players who came from industry especially heavy industry and coal mining.
yes as long as they are complient with IRB Rules they can be worn

yes because it reduces the chance of a twisted ankle. - The game has a clear guideline on footwear. Rugby boots rarely cover over the ankle anymore. Players in the main wear a "boot" cut below the ankle and containing 6 to 8 removable studs for grip. In the 1970 and early 80's rugby boots were cut to cover the ankle but their also presented some restrictions to when laced up. Now rugby boots re similar to soccer boots. Boots without stud grip are not really the best thing to wear as scrummaging, mauling and directional changes cause slipping particularly in wet weather.
No they all meet the requirements of both codes.
some forwards prefer to where boots with 6 studs in the front sole and 4 in the heel whilst the majority (normally backs) will wear boots with a standard 4 studs in the front sole and 2 in the heel
Though rugby is easiest to play in boots specifically made for rugby, they are not necessary. Soccer cleats work just fine. The only requirement for rugby boots is that they must not have a spike on the bottom of the toes.
