How many watts is it safe to take out of one socket, and can both sides (sockets) handle a certain amount or is it the collective wattage between the two?

Re: How many watts can a socket handle?
Not sure what you're asking...
Do you want to know how many watts a typical 3-prong 110vac outlet can handle?
Watts = voltage x current and code says not to run over 80% so:
10amp outlet @ 120vac = 1200 x 80% = 880watts
15amp outlet @ 120vac = 1800 x 80% = 1440 watts
20amp outlet @ 120vac = 2400 watts = 1920 watts
That would be total for all outlets if wired to the same breaker.THE LOST ART OF BEING STOIC
1. Quit your whining.
2. Quit your crying.
3. Suck it up.
If in doubt, ask yourself: What would Clint do?
