Why do economists use real GDP rather than nominal GDP to gauge economic well being?
Real GDP calculations have been adjusted to factor in inflation. Nominal GDP calculations are not adjusted. It is harder to make valid comparisons across time if you don't adjust for price level differences.
Why do economics measure the gross domestic product?
Economists use real GDP per capita rather than simply real GDP. This is because population growth is an important variable (per capita), and so, real GDP per capita is the more accurate measurement of the GDP.

No, nominal interest can never be a negative rate. If such an event occurred it would involve customers paying the banking, at which point it would be referred to as a fee rather than interest.

What can measure how fast the population of a country can grow without engendering its declining living standards?
The population growth rate can measure how fast the population of a country can grow without engendering its declining living standards. Here we want to know the balance between growth rates in population compared to growth rates in economic output. By answering the question with the same wording as question gives us a rather "too late now" result. Here we'll most often find a disagreement among economists on how to avoid a decline before it happens.
