Would using this tube ruin my amp?

"Would using this tube ruin my amp?"Possibly. But according to the curves it seems unlinear, thus would damage your sound quality.

That depends on how well the power xfmr is made or derated. An extra filament xfmr may be called for.
Eli is right; not a drop in replacement, but you may want to give it a try.
the heater current draw is more than a 12AX7, but some like the sound of the tube. may want to check with the manufacturer of your pre amp and ask them if the power supply will handle the higher current draw from the heater.
