If I have a schematics in Altium Designer and it is spread over 10 sheets then is it possible to generate a list of all net names that are used in it? How can I generate this list? I want to do this to double check if a certain Net name is miss-spelled at one or more places in any sheet.

The best way to do this in Altium is to use Net Ties. These will join two separate nets. See: https://www.smtnet.com/library/files/upload/NetTies-and-How-to-Use-Them.pdf
I will also occasionally use zero-ohm resistors to accomplish the same goal if there is a chance that I may need to break the connection to help troubleshoot an issue.
When you design your schematic component, assign Designators to the pins, e.g. A + B or 1 + 2, .... In your PCB Library item (the one that is linked to your schematic symbol) use the Place -> Pad, select "Multi-Layer" as Layer, enter a hole size (.7mm) and a pad size (e.g 1.5x1.5mm) and you're done, name the two pads A + B (same name as in the schematic).
Now when you transfer your schematic design to your PCB, Altium will assign the appropriate nets to your pads.

You can generate a netlist report of the whole project via the menu option Design->Netlist for Project and then you can choose the netlist format that us wish the report to come in. The options for the netlist formats will be dependant on which netlist generators you have installed. The report you generate you should be able to search the nets you are looking for or print out and review as you like ! You could also use the Navigate Plane under the "Net/Bus" and also search for the net you are looking for - the benefit here is that when you click on the net it will zoom into the location of the net on the schematic
