Would it be possible to connect the Maxi-Matthpole to two C-stands in a goal post configuration to hang a backlight or whatnot? If so, what connectors would I need?
That should work out fine. Matthllini clamps or Super Mafers w/ Pin(B541004) should do the trick.Thats the simplest way to connect the Maxi-Matthpole to the C-Stands. The 2" Endjaw (420110) is a favorite, but all the Matthellinis will work.

Can it actually reach 15 feet? Other vendors list the max reach as 14' 10", I need something for a ceiling that's exactly 15'.
Matthews website spec is inconsistent. In claims 178" and just under 15' in one paragraph and 187" in another. Shorter number is the one to go with. I've used blocks of 2x4s and 2x6s to add a little rise.

What's at the end of the poles? I need to convert both ends to 1.5 inch diameter so that they fit in my Matthews Wall Spreaders.
The Matthews Maxi Matthpole (Black, 8 - 15') BH #MAPMM95178 is not suitable for use in a wall spreader. You will want to get a single piece of pipe.

Hi, can the feet be removed and replaced? Thanks.
The feet on the Matthews Maxi Matthpole (Black, 8 - 15') can be removed but the replacement is the same exact one it comes with. There are no other options for feet.

Yes, no problem.

question
What is the Matthpole made of? Will it stand up to having standard theatre instruments (ETC Source 4) clamped to it or would it dimple?
The Maxi Matthpole is made of heavy duty aluminum and would be able to hold an ETC Source 4 unit without an issue.
