The trip time for a GFCI is from 15 to 30 milliseconds.
GFCI receptacle are designed to trip on 5 milliamps.
The GFCI is measuring leakage current to ground, so if no current is flowing it won't trip.
A GFCI is not an overcurrent protection device. It only protects people from electrical shock. However, if you were to create a perfect hot to neutral short the GFCI would not trip and the panel breaker would.
In a word NO, that will not cause either GFCI to trip. The correct term is GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
Yes
Every time you trip the GFCI, the power to the device plugged into it will lose its supply voltage.

A GFCI measures difference in output to return current. A Overload breaker in your panel is what trips from too much current. many are time delay and will not trip immediately from the less than a second of start up current spike.
A GFCI receptacle can pass it's "protection" to other outlets wired from it. If the GFCI trips, all outlets wired from it will "trip" also. A GFCI tripping will not necessarily trip the circuit breaker in the service panel.
Yes it can.
A GFCI trips when it detects a difference in the amperage going to the outlet and what is coming back. Even 4-6 miliamps difference will trip the outlet.
GFCI's trip on an un balance between the current on the "hot" wire and the current on the neutral wire
A down stream receptacle that is connected to the upstream GFCI will be protected. If the downstream receptacle senses a fault the upstream GFCI will trip.
