The term GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
Yes, there is no reason why this can not be done. In fact a benefit of this is that every receptacle downstream from this new receptacle will also be protected by the GFCI receptacle.
Not if the GFCI breaker is supplying the circuit you are wanting to put the GFCI receptacle into.
How far do u put a GFCI receptacle from water
A down stream receptacle that is connected to the upstream GFCI will be protected. If the downstream receptacle senses a fault the upstream GFCI will trip.
Actually, yes. The GFCI does not need any ground; it measures "leakage", i.e., an imbalance, regardless of whether there is "ground". The National Electrical Code permits installing a GFCI to replace a completely ungrounded receptacle. Others have said: No. The GFCI is designed to measure an unintended path to ground. Without a good ground reference this is not possible.

Most probably the receptacles downstream from the GFCI would not be protected by the GFCI receptacle.
