Basically, yes, Allah does mean GOD.
Specifically, in literature,"Allah" comes from the Arabic word "elah" which means; 'god' or 'something worshiped'.
In the Koran, the word 'He' (referring to God) or 'we' (referring to 'the words of God')
"He" is used only out of respect and dignity, not gender.
"We" is only used as the "Royal We" just as in English for royalty. So, it is not plural.
The usage of the word "Allah" is not only in Islam. It is used in All The Three Abrahamic Faiths. "Allah" is the same word used by Christian Arabs and Jewish Arabs in their Bible, centuries before Islam came.

Yes. It's simply the Arabic word for God, just as "Dieu" or "Gott" or "Elohim" are words for "God" in French, German, and Hebrew. Literally, "Allah" means "The God" ("al" = the, "lah" = god).
Islam is the word that means to submission to the will of Allah
Abdallah means 'Servant of Allah' or "Human of Allah" where "Allah" means GOD in Arabic.
It means There is no god but Allah and muhummad is the prophet of Allah.La illaha il Allah muhummad-ur- rasul Allah.
No the only name of Allah is Allah or if you translate it it means God Abdulah is one of Allah's Favourite names it means slave of Allah
"Islam" is surrender to the will of Allah/God. "Inshallah" is the term for hoping that Allah/God wills something.
It means that God is one (in numbers) and nothing else. There is no God but Allah (SWT). Since Allah means God (in Arabic), the direct translation would be, "There is no God but God".
'Allah' and 'God' are identical terms but in different languages. Because of historical and cultural connotations, God is commonly used to refer to God in Christianity, where Allah refers to God in Islam. However, if a phrase in either language is translated in whole, one word will replace the other; God means Allah and Allah means God.
Allah is probably from the roots 'Al' which means 'the' and 'Ilaah' which means god. It means "The God". It is also His name. Most people think that "Allah" is different than the God of the Bible, but that is not true. In the Old Testament, in Hebrew, the word used for God is 'Elohim'. The root of Elohim is 'Eloha'. Allah. Eloha. Also: if Jesus spoke Aramaic, then the name he used for God is 'Alaha'. Christian Arabs also say 'Allah'.

Allah
