Does yeast grow in water?
The little brown grains of dried yeast (from the packet) can and will grow if put into water (at room temperature) with a little bit of sugar dissolved in it. You will see them growing because the water will begin to produce a foam after 30 mins. However, please note that if the dried yeast is kept too long before it is used, then the yeast in the brown grains may be killed. In this case no foam will be produced.

Can use powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar with bread yeast recipes?

How much dry yeast do you need for 4 ounces of fresh yeast?
This would be a tricky calculation to make, (and please note these are American measurements.) Compressed yeast comes in 2 oz. cakes, which can be divided equally into 3 parts, with each part equal to one packet of yeast. One packet = 2 1/4 teaspoons. As a rule of thumb, one packet of dry yeast is enough to raise about 4 cups of flour. For anyone interested in working with yeast doughs, Google "yeast conversion" to find a selection of tables that will help you make conversions between dry, compressed, instant and even brewer's yeast.
