The capacitor can be tested for o/c or s/c, my preferred method is using an analogue ohm meter..
Failure of the capacitor will lead to the early demise of the ballast..
Yes across the lampholder terminals, you should read the same voltage to what the lamp is rated..
Current reading will be in excess of 10amps not by much though probably between 10 and 12ish..
Before removing any components for replacement, testing, etc please discharge the capacitor..
if you have time familiarise yourself with the healthy floodlight, taking notes of test voltages, etc.
