1) a very high one, but it varies depending on the school, also, MCAT scores need to be very high. I'd say you need AT LEAST a 3.5 or so.
2) To get into the top medical schools in the US, you would need to have a GPA in the upper 3's (3.6-4.0). Of course, med schools also look at the intensity of the courses you took, which undergraduate college you're coming from, your MCAT score, and your extra currics. Just having a high GPA and MCAT score will not be sufficient to get you into a top medical school. Take a look at www.mdapplicants.com and http://www.studentdoc.com/medfind.html for more info on the stats med schools are looking for.
To have a high chance of getting in and some choice in where to go your GPA should be above 3.5 with strong science grades. With a GPA of 3.2-3.5 you can often still get in but should have good MCAT scores and other strengths to your application.
You need a 3.6 to be competitive. But there are stories of students getting in with 3.2 and 3.3's. There are other factors as important, if not more important. Such as MCAT score, EC's, etc. But if your GPA is low you will not get a scholarship. So you could be paying up to $200,000 for 4 years of medical school.
Try to have more A's than B's. Do not have a C ESPECIALLY in any medical prerequisite courses.
Depends on what school you want to go to.

You need to have a 3.5 GPA or above
It depends on which school you are applying to.
A GPA is not needed. You just need a high school diploma or GED.
Their average unweighted high school GPA is a 3.6.
If you have a 3.3 GPA in high school, you will need to continue you good study habits in college. Your GPA does not carry over from high school to college.
Yes you can. Medical schools don't care about your major, all they need are the required courses and a gpa higher than 3.5.
Again, Harvard does not set a certain boundary on what your GPA should be, but you might want your GPA to be very close to perfect.
