Yes, just make sure you have the headers installed as well, ie. the
development package (mozilla-dev on Debian).

Not quite. Some things are not in any garball and need to be installed
individually.

Yes, but running make install will not populate the garchive dir. You
need to run make garchive.

When you are done building, you can remove the entire garnome directory.
The build directory that is.

Yes, if you are sure you have the same libraries installed on both
machines. And you probably need to put the copy in the same location as
on the original install. I've never tried it though, CPU cycles are
cheap.
