Yes, this is possible. You will need to use 1/2 evaporated milk mixed with 1/2 water if you want to use this for cooking. If your recipe calls for 1/2 cup milk then you will use 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup evaporated milk.
Yes, you could use it straight strength, you could also get instant milk to keep on hand as well. That you just add water to. I think some of the other posters are thinking EVAPORATED Milk as the same as CONDENSED MILK.
Yes you can use whole milk. Evaporated milk is heavier, and whole mike will make the cake lighter with less calories. Baking should not change the size or rising.
You can substitute evaporated milk for whole milk using equal parts of each - 1/2 cup evaporated milk + 1/2 water = 1 cup 'whole milk'.
That is not saying it will always 'react' the same or even taste the same in your recipe. Some cooks say not to do it.

I made a pound cake that called for 1 cup regular milk. But I used canned milk without deluteing it with water. And it was so good.
You can essentially make your own by adding sugar and making a reduction by heating slowly
No! That is sweet and condensed milk, that is not evaporated milk. Evaporated milk does not contain sugar.
Another option if you have half and half is whole milk and half-and-half. For 1 cup of evaporated milk, use 3/4 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup half-and-half.
