63 is L4 at best .. Its not about expertise but just hard to get promoted in Google .. MSFT till 65 its not hard at all..
MS 63 can become POTUS one day
No hard and fast answer. Lots of under leveled people at Microsoft as well. Best to prepare and interview. Think it’s only L8 that’s truly out of reach since it’s a different type of recruitment pipeline.
Not going to happen unless your skillset is 1:1 match for what they are looking for.
If you don’t reveal your level to the recruiter and you have the right number of YOE, then yes you may be able to interview for L6. Whether you can pass the bar and perform at L6 once you join is a different question though.
Best case will be L5

If levels fyi is to be trusted, 63 is quite far away from L6. Even 65 is barely L6. I thought Google was also infamous for down leveling?
Yep, down leveling is far more common than up leveling
