1) Does this kind of behaviour sound plausible - Read OK, write fail?
The write head could be mucky so it goes through the motions of writing, but nothing is actually changed on the disk (or what it writes is corrupted). You could dismantle the drive and clean it manually, or try one of those floppy drive cleaning disks.

2) Can I take the drive from an A500 and put it in my A1200 - straight swap?
Yes, but I don't think it will fit properly in the A1200's casing. Amigakit sell replacement drives if you want to replace it.
