Not effectively. You should test the water first, then stabilize the Ph before adding anything.

Bleach is basically chlorine and will kill some bacteria, but it fades quickly in a pool with low or high Ph, or sun, or high use.

Bleach from the grocery store is most likely not strong enough to get the job done. You need a minimum of 10% --- preferably 12%.

No not at all. just make sure it is seated on a bed of fine sand and clean it regularly so that sand inside does not become abrasive.
