Geostationary is the moving orbit in the plane of the equator. Geostationary satellites are 22,300 miles above the Earths surface, and remain stationary at a fixed point. Weather and communication satellites are examples of geostationary satellites.
A geostationary satellite is one that is in a fixed position relative to the Earth. This is usually achieved by putting the satellite in orbit over the equator at a speed which equals the speed of the Earth's rotation at the equator. This speed is only possible at a distance of about 7 Earth radii.
Satellite Television stations and GPS use geostationary satellites because the position of the satellites in the sky is fixed.
The satellite orbits at the same speed as the Earth, so it is always above the same part of the Earth. This type of orbit is also sometimes referred to as geosynchronous orbit.

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.

A geostationary orbit will keep the satellite in one area relative to the surface

A geostationary satellite appears to stand still to a viewer anywhere on the earth, not just on the equator.

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.
