Food Lion does not sell almond flour. I checked the website and also called one of the stores. This is a special flour used in low carb recipes so you will have to check specialty food stores such as Harmony Farms, Whole Foods or any other grocery store that sells diet specialty foods, organics and non-hormonal foods.
Yes, coconut macaroons can be made without almond flour. Theoretically, any type of nut flour could be used in place of almond flour in macaroons, although each type of flour would produce a different tasting cookie.

Yes, almond flour can be used in a recipe without cooking it. Almond flour is simply almonds that have been ground. Unlike regular flour made from wheat, almond flour does not contain that starchy chalk-like taste when consumed raw. There are a couple of different textures of almond flour that manufacturers produce. Almond meal has been known to also be called almond flour. Almond meal consists of almonds that have been finely ground, but they still have a slightly granular texture and usually have bits of the almond skins still visible. This type is specifically great to sprinkle over your cereal or in a breakfast smoothie for an added boost of both flavor and protein. Regular almond flour that is very fine and powdery can also be used raw. It can be used much like the almond meal, but you may have to add it slowly to liquids as to avoid clumping.
1 cup almond flour is 130 gm. So 300 gm is 2.3 cups.
Pizza dough (made from strong flour, salt, a little olive oil and water) does not need eggs or almond flour in it. Indeed if you add either of those things it will make the dough very strange.
Yes, you can use all purpose flour in place of almond flour. However, the resulting cookies would not be macaroons, but simple cookies without much flavor.
One can make other types of flour using all purpose flour, but not the reverse. The other flours have additional things added, foe example, Bread flour has wheat gluten and Self rising flour has salt and baking powders.
No. Primarily, self-raising flour rises and almond meal does not. Secondly, flour contains gluten, which is what holds the structure of a baked good together - almond meal does not contain gluten, meaning the texture would be particularly odd (heavy, not crumbly). Thirdly, flour absorbs much more fluid than almond meal. Fourthly, almond meal is denser than flour, meaning you would have to use much more of it to get the same volume of flour. These reasons mean that almond meals is not a close substitute for self-raising flour as their properties are very different. If you're attempting to make a gluten-free cake (hence the substitution), use a recipe which already happens to be gluten free.

There are some ingredients available that can be substituted for flour but the problem is that flour always works best. Corn starch is sometimes a substitute as is blanched almond flour. None works as well as flour.
