But you don't have a line-in jack - did you mean mic in? Even so, a
line-level signal would distort the mic input's preamp, hence the
distortion even at low output volume.

Hard to say why without seeing the circuitry of your tape deck and mic
input.

Probably not.

I would try 100 to 1 first, but be aware that the impedance of the mic
input may upset this by being low. I would establish that first, but
it requires test gear.
