A geostationary satellite has to be orbiting Earth in the equatorial plane, but travelling at the same speed as the Earth's rotation, so that it is constantly over the same spot on Earth. They have to stay at a fixed height, about 36,00 kilometres or 22,000 miles above the earth. They can directly communicate with a station on Earth, which can aim it's communications, through antennae, directly at the satellite, without having to adjust the antennae.

A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
Geostationary satellites are in an orbit that's 22,282 mi (35,786 km) above the surface of the Earth. For more on Geostationary satellite orbits, visit http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx
No. A geostationary satellite appears to be stationary in the sky, which means not moving. This is a big part of the reason why it is referred to as a geo'stationary' satellite.

It should be possible to have the perfectly geostationary satellites. But it is not possible. Perfectly geostationary satellite can not be made. Such satellite is pulled away by other objects like moon, sun and other planets from different directions. This force changes the velocity of the satellites.
