According to handgunlaw.us, yes, Georgia recognizes Texas permits.
No. In most states, you must have a permit. A few states allow open carry without a permit, and Alaska and Vermont allow concealed carry without a permit. There are a couple of states, and the District of Columbia, that don't issue permits. Even in states that do issue gun permits, there are places in that you cannot carry legally, such as court houses, schools, and a few other places, but it varies by state.
That's a difficult question to answer here. Check out hangunlaw.us for more information. Some states don't honor any gun permits except their own, some honor any state's permit, some don't issue any or honor any.

No. Georgia does not require gun registration, nor permits (other than permits to carry concealable arms) Link to a summary of Georgia gun laws: http://crime.about.com/od/gunlawsbystate/p/gunlaws_ga.htm
Technically, no. Concealed weapon permits themselves do nothing. But here's the answer you're asking about. It depends on who you ask, but yes, there is evidence that in states where handgun carry permits are issued, crime is reduced.
It depends on what you mean. In some states, you can carry a handgun openly without a permit. In most states, you have to have a permit to carry a handgun at all, or to carry it concealed. Two states and the District of Columbia don't issue handgun permits. The states that do issue permits have restrictions, a few places within the states that is off-limits, even if you have a permit, such as schools, courthouses, etc.
See link below for map. Quite a few states.
The answer depends on the context. Usually a "gun permit" means a permit to carry a concealed handgun on your person. Some states (CA I think?) require a registration process in order to purchase a handgun which is sometimes referred to as a "permit". Conceal permits are regulated by state and laws very as many different states we have.
