Yes, max it out. If it pings at WOT, back it off a little until it doesn't ping anymore. Remember, you are adjusting timing at WOT and it has nothing to do with timing at part throttle.

You can only advance by 10%, so you can't really get to 15.

You can, in a round-a-bout way.

It will go well beyond 15. 15 degrees on a t/a is merely base timing. Total timing should be more in the 25-30 degree range under WOT
