What does powdered sugar do for sugar cookies?
Powdered sugar makes for a lighter texture and flavor when used in making cookies. However, more powdered sugar than granular sugar has to be used to obtain a sweeter taste. Also, powdered sugar is used on top of sugar cookies, sprinkled, to create a design/decoration, and to give the taste buds the initial enjoyment when one first bites into the cookie.
Can substitute granulated sugar for powdered sugar in key lime pie?
No. Powdered sugar absorbs water, whereas granulated sugar does not. This makes a huge difference in baking, since interchanging these can turn the texture into something brick-like. (It is similar to attempting to substitute sweetcorn kernals for cornflour).
Is there any difference between granulated and extra fine granular sugar?
Superfine sugar- or Bartender's sugar, is more course than powdered sugar. Superfine sugar is similar to castor sugar (and can substitute each other), but if I were to put it in order, Superfine would have the largest granules, and powdered sugar would have the smallest. Powdered sugar cannot be substituted with superfine sugar, or castor sugar, since it's too fine :3.

Is the muscovado sugar can be a substitute for the powdered sugar?
No, you can't. Muscovado is another name for minimally processed or "raw" sugar. I nickname that stuff "eye-boogers" because it looks like the stuff you wipe out of your eyes when you wake up lol. Because of muscovado's coarseness, massive size granules and lack of thickener (in comparison to powdered sugar), it is NOT a suitable substitute in recipes that call for powdered sugar. You can TRY to make powder of it with 2 parts sugar/1 part cornstarch IF and only if you have a food processor. But I can't recommend it as that's something even I have never tried before. I can't really help much further because you didn't describe what recipe you're trying to substitute powdered sugar for or why you need to substitute it.
Can you substitute powdered sugar for baking powder?

Multiply the amount of granulated sugar needed by 1.75. It takes 1 3/4 cup of powdered sugar to substitute for 1 cup of granulated sugar.

Granular.
