Yes! As you could extrapolate from the multitude of gold buyer advertisements, there is a lot of money to be made in the cash for gold business. Gold buyers can profit in any economy, but there has never been a better time than right now to get into gold buying.
'The Red-Headed League' probably took place in 1890, and the gold sovereign was equivalent to 1 British pound at that time, which, in turn, was worth about $4 US. Inflation would make the sovereign's buying power about $100 in today's money.
Depends what you mean by much. The P means that it is gold plated. So there probably is not much gold there at all so I'd say no. 24KGP is not worth much at all.
"Are they worth the money" is a personal choice; we can't really answer that for you. There are a number of ways to make gold alloys that are dark brown or black.

Bring your jewelry to a store that buys gold. Many of these stores offers coupons to pay you more than they normally would. For example, I used Walter Bauman and used a 15% coupon.
Skinning, Mining, Herbalism and any of the crafting professions can make you gold pretty easily. You can also play the Auction House (buying low selling high), and doing dailies is pretty good for making money.
