More info?)
I am new to the game but I have learned a few things from experience.
I'll share them and stand by for any corrections from the more
experienced players....

>Is there? (Difference between leveled Pokemon and high level wild Pokemon?)
Pokemon I have raised to levels 10-12 can typically beat the level
13-15 wild Pokemon. Some of this can be attributed to skill as the
game seems to randomly pick from the four possible moves the wild
Pokemon has where I can choose the move most appropriate. Then again,
sometimes it is just luck as one of us may get a critical hit that
brings a sudden end to the battle. Additionally, I have the added
advantage of using potions and berries, etc. to alter my stats as I
fight, which the wild can rarely do.

Not likely. Every wild Weedle I have fought has poison sting,
however, I have never seen a wild Kakoona use poison sting nor have I
caught one with it. I don't recall any trainer's kakoonas using it
either.

I don't think so. I have seen beedrill fight a same level Kakoona and
I am thinking I fought a level 14 Weedle.

Most rules tend to have exception, but I would guess that the wild
ones will be missing the moves.
