My late-2013 MacBook Pro that uses the 85W MagSafe 2 power adapter comes with a power adapter extension cable. However my 2017 MacBook Pro doesn't have the extension cable for 87W USB-C power adapter, just the electrical plughead.

Are there any issues if I use the 85W MagSafe 2 power adapter extension cable with the 87W USB-C power adapter?

Yes you can use it no problem. (Indeed Apple themselves sell the extension cable on its own for this purpose.)
 
This is a silly question but i can use my MBA 11" 2012 extesion cable on my new 2017 15" MBP right??
 
They are all interchangeable. You can even use it on an iPad charger. It's just a 110/220V cable. I actually use that to charge my iPhone since it is grounded and there are no issues with static on the phone exterior.
