You have the answer, too much suds. Also not strong enough.

Dishwasher detergent is a much stronger alkali than hand soap. Also

Don't ever use hand soap / dish detergent in a dishwasher!

Save yourself a headache & do them by hand. If you have stubborn caked on  
food, let them sit in a hot sink with sudsy water for about an hour.  
Everything should come off easily.  
 
HINT: for pots that have stuck on food, pour some cola into the pot & let  
sit overnight. The carbonation in the cola works the food out. Then all  
you need to do is wash as normal.

No. It will make a big mess. Dishwasher soaps are suds free.

No. Hands soap will probably produce too much suds and cause

Such as lanolin. And they don't taste good.

No. Hand dish soap is made to foam a lot. Dishwasher fluid
