Hi Chris: In answer to your second question, you might consider looking at an IEC320-C15 cordset. This one is similar to the C13, but rated to 120degC instead of 70degC. The extra temperature margin might give it longer life, and it will mate with the C14 inlet.
It's not a C13, but it might address your problem. Pat Lawler EMC Engineer SL Power Electronics Corp.
