A 15amp receptacle on a 20 amp circuit will not overload the circuit. You will only be allowed to plug in 15a devices. 20 Amp receptacles/plugs have a 'T' configuration.
I am not sure about that? we usually install 20 amp FGIs in the kitchen (if its on a 20 amp circuit) and be done with it. No law suits.
