25A is not a rating for your basic Romex 12AWG or a 12ga extension cord,
though it could probably carry that current for awhile before it starts
getting toasty. It would have to have the higher temp rating. If you
have ever wired up a cooktop or oven, they have pretty small wires
attached to
12 AWG = 25 ga for an extension cord maybe, but in the wall of a house?
That ought to be 20A ?

Yes. But it's likely doesn't satisfy local code. A pair of 14
AWG wires is equivalent to a single 11 AWG wire. NEC ampacity
chart shows 12 AWG is suitable for 25
Is it OK to run a 240v device on a 25 amp breaker through two parallel

No. The purpose of the breaker is to prevent fire in the
wiring. 25A through 14ga wire will cook. 25A through
two paralleled 14ga wires will not cook. Ah, but how
does the _breaker_ k
Not if you're attempting to comply with code. Serious no-no. Do it right.
