Yes. In fact, a sentence must have a direct object in order to have an indirect object. (Note, however, that some consider the subject of a sentence in the passive voice to be an "implicit" indirect object, because it the sentence is changed to the active voice, the subject in the passive voice will often become an indirect object in the active voice.)
There is no indirect object; the direct object is 'it' (immediately is an adverb modifying the verb spent).
What is the Subject? Joey. What is the verb? Bought. What did Joey purchase? Did Joey purchase a girlfriend? Did Joey purchase a cup of coffee? Which did Joey do. What did joey actually do? Did the store have girlfriends for sale? Where is this store? I want to buy a girlfriend! We have decided that Joey purchased a girlfriend. That makes the girlfriend that Joey purchased the direct object of the sentence. What did Joey do with this girlfriend that he purchased. He gave her to a cup of coffee. That makes cup of coffee the indirect object. Of course anytime we can rewrite a sentence so that we can put a to or for in front of a phrase, we make it easier to find the indirect object. Let's rewrite the sentence. Joey bought a cup of coffee for his girlfriend. Now it is clear what joey bought. It is clear what is the direct object. It is clear who he bought it for, the indirect object.
A direct or indirect object is a part of a sentence. A single word in isolation is neither a direct or indirect object. However, most nouns can be used in a sentence as either a direct or indirect object.
No, "grandmother" is not an indirect object. It is a noun that typically serves as a subject or direct object in a sentence. An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that receives the direct object. For example, in the sentence "She gave her grandmother a present," "grandmother" is the indirect object.
