Some of the black wires are not neutral. Theyre live returns from switches. What youre doing is such a cliche. Youre connecting black (or blue) live wires to the neutral.

i'm not a qualified electrician, i'm a plumber, but i would say course you can as long as the circuit breakers are changed to the correct amperage. Wait and see if anyone contradicts me

you need to understand how a two way light works first. then, if you think it out logically, you wont need advice. Its just about understanding the flow of the electricity. I think they have circuit diagrams on here

Unless your wiring is very old and dodgy, the reason why the light dimmed is because you've conncted it in series with the other lighting circ...
