The microphone may not die at 12v, but it wouldn't work right, either. 12v is a standard Phantom Power specification, but it's falling out of favor because it was always a make-do solution adopted only by a subset of makers. 48v has been the standard since the thirties and I suspect your microphone ...

If you have two stereo tracks one above the other, select one of them by clicking just above the MUTE button and Tracks > Stereo Track to Mono. After you do that to the second track, select the top one and using the pulldown menu to the left of the track, Make Stereo Track. I believe that's how Pame...
