The thermostat needs replacing any time you service the cooling system. You should also replace it if the engine is overheating, and you suspect it is defective. A blown head gasket will exhibit, certain symptoms. Coolant in the oil, white smoke from the tailpipe, overheating, air bubbles coming from the radiator, missing on one or more cylinders, a brown looking foam on the underside of the oil cap. A compression test will help to verify this.

Does thermostat gasket go under or on top of thermostat?

Can a 2.2 engine run without a thermostsat in a outback?

why do you want to. This would be a terrible idea as the 2.2 engines have head gasket issues. When the gasket weakens, the engine will start to overheat, and without a thermostat you wont know until the gasket blows and you ruin the entire engine. So you "can" run without a thermostat if you feel like blowing your engine.

You will not know until your remove the head. You have to remove the head in order to replace the gasket and once you have the head removed have it magna fluxed at a machine shop. That will reveal any cracks.
