Yes you can; don't put the pad though on top of the pacemaker. Adjust pad as necessary.
At least an inch (two finger-widthsis how I teach it) as the minimum.Generally (but not always) the implanted pacemaker is by the left collar-bonewhile the AED pad should be under the right one, so we could also say 18+ inches depending on the size of the person.
It would likely fry the pacemaker
Do not use the AED if the person has a pulse.
Yes, the pacemaker is obviously malfunctioning. Just try to not place the pad directly over the pacemaker. Typically however this is not a problem as a pacemaker is usally located near the left shoulder and the pads go on the right shoulder and left side.

To use the AED, first turn it on. Place the pads on the patient. (and plug the pad leads into the AED if required). The AED should analyze at this point; now follow the instructions of the AED.
An AED certification is a certification that you have been trained in the proper use of an AED.
