Can a 200 amp breaker be purchased that only occupies 2 slots in the panel - if so where?
No. You can not buy a 200 amp that only occupies 2 slots on the panel.
Can you load an electrical panel with only 20 amps?
If you mean can you put a single 20 amp breaker in an electric panel, the answer is yes. An electric panel is typically made to handle more breakers with values that add up to more than the rating of the panel on the supposition that you will never draw full load on all breakers. If you do the main breaker would trip. In your case you are under utilizing the panel, but this is not a problem.

Can a circuit with a GFCI be shared at the box?
Your question is a bit vague, but let's try a two part answer. If you have a GFCI breaker in an electric panel you should only have one connection at the breaker, but the breaker will protect all devices on the circuit. If you are talking about a GFCI outlet, they are equipped to extend the GFCI protection to other non-GFCI outlets by using the proper "output" connection on the GFCI.

The sub-panel need to be fed from the main panel, by way of a circuit breaker connected to one of the breaker locations. Or if your sub-panel has a main breaker installed you can feed from the main panel with a sub-feed lug kit. This looks like a breaker, but is only a point where you can branch off the sub panel.

Why does a new AC in a new house throw the outside circuit breaker once a week?
If the breaker only trips once a week you may have a bad breaker or the breaker may not be large enough for your A/C unit. You should also have an electrician look for any loose connections from the unit to the breaker panel. (It is not uncommon to have a bad breaker)
