This formula will give you the amperage I = kw x 1000/1.73 x E x pf (pf = power factor). Take the amperage and multiply it by 125%. This will give you the breaker size that you need.

Not if the GFCI breaker is supplying the circuit you are wanting to put the GFCI receptacle into.
Yes.
If you put a 85 amp breaker in there it will overheat from the starting and stopping of the motor. The extra size of the breaker insures that the furnace will run without interruption and without overheating the breaker. And electric motor can draw three times the amperage rated on start up momentarily. This is why there is need of extra amperage ratings.
It means the breaker has been tripped. There are two possible ways to reset it - some have a button on the outlet (there may be several outlets on one circuit, so you may have to look around) the other is the main breaker in your breaker box. You'll need to find a reset the breaker.
50amp but if considering the breaker cannot withstand starting current you need to size the breaker up.
For the same power - Watts - you need to run twice as many amps at 220V than at 440V. For the same load, it'll pull half the amps at 220V than it did on 440V

You will need a multimeter to check a 220 volt breaker. You should unplug appliances that go to that particular breaker. Use the multimeter at the breaker to check the voltage. If it shows 220, then the breaker is okay. If it doesn't, then the breaker is no good.
You need to be more specific. Do you want a contact telling you if a circuit breaker is on? If that is your question, the answer depends on the model of the breaker.
Not if the GFCI breaker is supplying the circuit you are wanting to put the GFCI receptacle into.
For a 10 amp, 250 volt circuit, you should install a circuit breaker rated for at least 10 amps and 250 volts. A common option would be a single-pole, 10 amp circuit breaker designed for 240-250 volt applications. Be sure to check the specifications and compatibility with your specific electrical panel.
Usually a 15 or 20 amp breaker is sufficient
You can test this breaker by clamping it onto the earth cable. This will provide you with the measurements that you need.
Yes, the electrical code requires a ground fault breaker for your hot tub.
Yes.
