Is it possible to trace the history of an M1 Garand by it's serial number and find out to whom it was issued and where it saw service?

Yes, but you would have to do a lot of digging. You should be able to atleast find out where it saw service if not who it was issued to. I recommend starting with the manufacturer and find out which branch it was sold to then contact that branch and try to get a hold of the archives department. That should get you heading in the right direction. Good Luck

What country used the M1 garand in World War 2?
The M1 Garand wasa government issued rifleof the United States during WWII and into the 1950's and very early 1960's. It was followed by the M14.The M14 was then followed by the M16. Very strange, when I went through Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island they issued the M 14, however, when I went to Camp Geiger for Advance Infantry Training they issued the M1 Garand. When I finished the training I was assigned to the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune NC where I was once again issued the M14. All this ocurred in 1966.

What is the number stamped on your m-1 garand stand for?
If its a long string of numbers its probably the Serial Number of the rifle. This is an identifying number, unique to that rifle and that rifle only. When the rifle was issued to a soldier the Serial Number was written down in the records, and he was responsible for returning the weapon when he left the service. Individual parts might have a number stamped on them, having to do with the production of the rifle.
What is better a Kar98k or an M1 Garand?
That question was settled in WW II. People with the K98 lost. The Garand and Mauser have nearly the same energy and accuracy, but the Garand is an 8 shot semi-automatic, and the Mauser is a 5 shot bolt action. The M1 was clearly the dominant rifle of WWII, not because of it's service length (it was a new comer to the table) but due to its general issue to all U.S. troops, its simplicity, its great accuracy, its extreme battle proven reliability, and because of the fantastic effectiveness it obtained when put up against the now-outdated bolt action rifle systems. The Garand was designed to out shoot, and outpeform every existing service rifle in every other country, it had simpler and more effective peep sights, automatic clip ejecting, making reloading that much faster, ejecting clips part way through was faster and easier than adding single rounds that bolt actions were required to do, its gas operation also reduced the recoil making it faster to stay on target than bolt actions, this, combined with the better sight picture of the peep sights, semi-automatic capability, and the automatic clip ejecting and clearng of the magazine made the M1 Garand the dominant force multiplyer of service rifles in WWII and Korea. The Garand really had no significant oppositon in WWII in terms of better service rifles the only "close" competition, was the Russian, SVT-40 and German Gewehr 43, though those were expensive to make, very complicated systems, and had reliability issues in prolongued combat envronments where cleaning them was impossible, due to either somewhat poorly made parts, or poor design flaws. Plus they were never generally issued due to these reasons. The Garand had none of these problems.
