Powdered sugar should be dusted lightly onto a cake. The slightly moist surface of the cake will hold the sugar in place. If powdered sugar is applied too thickly, the excess should be brushed or shaken off.

Yes, beautifully too. You can use a flour sifter, or a basket strainer with a handle, these are both smaller in size. Put your confectioner (powdered) sugar into this, hold over the cake and gently sift the sifter or shake the basket strainer around it. MAKE SURE YOUR CAKE IS COMPLETELY COOLED. Very important. Or it melts like snow flakes.
Does powdered sugar taste the same when baked as granulated sugar?
Because powdered sugar is so fine and has cornstarch in it, it is not going to be as sweet as regular sugar. I'm guessing, but it would take like a cup and a half or more of powdered sugar to sweeten the same as 1 cup of regular sugar. The cornstarch would be a factor also possibly making the cake denser or tougher.

Can you bake with powdered sugar mixed with granulated sugar for banana bread?
Since powdered sugar measures differently than granulated sugar and contains cornstarch (which will make your bread drier) I would suggest you save the powdered sugar to sieve over the top of your finished cake. The substitution amounts would have to go by weight and you would have to reduce the flour in the bread. Much easier to go borrow a bit of sugar from a neighbor...
