Want this question answered?
Yes, there is no reason why this can not be done. In fact a benefit of this is that every receptacle downstream from this new receptacle will also be protected by the GFCI receptacle.
A down stream receptacle that is connected to the upstream GFCI will be protected. If the downstream receptacle senses a fault the upstream GFCI will trip.
code states that if a water source such as a sink is within 6 feet of a receptacle, that recetacle (s), must be protected by a GFCI receptacle. I believe the actual distance is 5 feet. Please forgive me if I'm wrong. But the NEC also requires that ANY counter top receptacles in a kitchen and receptacles ANYWHERE in a bathroom must be GFCI protected. More directly to your question, ordinary receptacles can be protected from a GFCI receptacle if properly wired. They are designed to do that. It is a way to save money. You may also consider a GFCI breaker if you have many receptacles to protect. I was told once that there is a limit of 3 "piggy backed" receptacles per GFCI but I have never seen that in the NEC.
Not if the GFCI breaker is supplying the circuit you are wanting to put the GFCI receptacle into.

Most probably the receptacles downstream from the GFCI would not be protected by the GFCI receptacle.
Usually no. Not unless the receptacle is in the vicinity of standing water. This is to protect the person that has to disconnect the plugged in device from the receptacle, while standing in the adjacent water.

All receptacles in a garage must be GFCI protected by code. Typically, the first receptacle in the circuit (location is irrelevant) must be a GFCI, then all others down stream in the circuit will be protected, and can be common receptacles.
No point on a countertop can be more than 24 inches from a receptacle per NEC 210.52. They have to be GFCI outlets per NEC 210.8.
Not if the GFCI breaker is supplying the circuit you are wanting to put the GFCI receptacle into.
If it's a GFCI receptacle and the button is not resetting then change the GFCI outlet.
8 ozs. and will vary by mfr. for an in-wall receptacle.
Yes.
