Yes you can but the electrical code does not require it. To use one where it is not requested to do so is just adding to the over all expense of the project.

50 amp with AWG # 6 wire is normal. Read the instructions that came with the stove to make sure.
A GFCI outlet has a TEST and RESET switch. Press reset and see if it fixes problem. If reset won't stay in that means that a ground fault condition is present and may be on another outlet that is fed from the tripped GFCI. If this isn't the problem check the main breaker feeding the GFCI and ensure it isn't tripped. If none of this works the GFCI itself may be bad. If you have a Volt Meter you can remove the outlet from the wall receptacle and make sure there is voltage present. You can also see if there is a branch circuit connected. To troubleshoot you can disconnect the branch circuit and then try reset. If you have voltage on input and GFCI won't reset with branch circuits removed, replace the GFCI.
AWG 12/2 wire on a 20 amp breaker. There must be 2 kitchen outlet circuits and each circuit must be protected with a GFCI outlet. Each of these items must be on it's own dedicated 20 amp circuit. Garbage disposal, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator. This will require 6 dedicated 120 volt 20 amp circuits plus a 240 volt 60 amp circuit for the range.
Don't do this! The fuses and breakers on a 240 Volt circuit should be left as they are, to supply 240 Volt appliances and nothing else. It is only safe to install a new 120 volt circuit by fitting a new 15 Amp breaker and run new wiring of the correct size for the length of run, all the way from the breaker panel to the new 120 Volt socket outlet.Before you do this you must check the wiring code for your locality (town/state) to be sure you know if the new circuit needs a protective device such as a GFCI or RCD.In most places a GFCI or RCD will be mandatory if the new socket outlet is to be installed in a place that is likely to be subject to water spray, wet or damp floors, walls or ceilings. This includes kitchens, bathrooms or shower rooms, or anywhere outside the building such as pool areas. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Yes, in the form of GFCI circuit breakers, not as a receptacle.
yes
On most residential circuit breaker boxes in North America, each individual breaker represents one 120-volt circuit. Two breakers ganged together represent a 240-volt circuit.
Yes, Electrical supply stores usually carry them
You need a breaker rated for 10 amps and 250 volts. The breaker must also fit properly in your panel.
Before energizing a breaker for a circuit, the circuit has to be clear of any short circuits or grounds. This can be accomplished by the use of a megger on the correct voltage setting.
No, it must be on a dedicated circuit of it's own. It must be on AWG 12/2 wire with 20 amp breaker. It also must be protected with a GFCI outlet.

Yes, you can always have heavier wire than code requires.

Eight on a 15 amp circuit, tweleve on a 20 amp circuit, including the gfci receptacle itself.
