What will be the result if we connect the "GROUNDS" of two different circuits (assumning ground of one is normal 0V , while he other is floating)
you can connect as many floating grounds as you want, the only problem will be capacitive and inductive noise coupling.

Will this cause any damage to any of the circuits ?
If the capacitive and inductive noise coupling is bad enough, yes.

The above two answers are very much related to line length.

What is the level of "Ground" that is associated with a PC ?
ANYTHING! (one PC may have x, the next y, the next z)
