Can the double pole switch with power indicator be used as a single light switch on a 5 amp fused circuit?

Yes it can its more than rated for the job. But why not use a standard light switch? You must make sure the circuit is wired to activate the indicator correctly.

I have a light switch with just a live and earth in and live out when switched on. Is this suitable as a replacement?

This switch is rated at 20 amp, normally lighting circuits require only 5 amp switches, it is also double pole in other words it switches the neutral as well which is unnecessary for switching domestic lighting circuits. What you require is is a single pole 5 amp switch.

Is this suitable to use with a storage heater? TIA

No, this is not suitable because it is not fused. You require a fused switched spur.

I bought this switch because it says it is 2-way; in fact it is 1-way and double pole. Can it be wired as a 2-way switch and will the neon work?

The short answer is no it can't be wired as a two way as it's a double pole switch and no the neon will not work as it needs a neutral wire to make it work. The problem on the listing is the first person to list the item used what is know a 'key word spamming' and stuck in all the words they thought would sell the item. We've tried a number of time to get this and other badly worded BG listings altered but Amazon refuse to do it.
