Up. ---- I'm not sure what the question is getting at. USUALLY THIS QUESTION IS ASKED WITH REGARD TO THE "GROUND" PRONG of a standard 3wire, 120 volt receptacle In the USA there are no requirements which dictate whether a receptacle outlet should be mounted with the ground UP or DOWN.

Sure! any height is ok as long as it is no lower than 18", but check your local bldg dept and check first.
Should be fine as long as you use a GFIC receptacle and mount at the proper height. You need to contact your local code enforcement people. Normally each locality has their own requirements to be followed.
