That is just how it comes in the package. Feel free to uncoil as much of it as you need to get it to a good slot on your neutral bar.
I would NOT do that if I were you. If someone is electrocuted and local, county or state officials discover that the GFCI has been removed, you could have some serious problems in court.If a GFCI was installed, there was a good reason for it; electricians don't put one in unless it is required by code.If you INSIST on replacing the GFCI, connect the white wire that screws into the GFCI to the neutral bar in the breaker panel and disconnect the white pigtail that comes out of the GFCI, then connect the BLACK wire to the new breaker.
Find the Hot side of the switch (Where there is voltage regardless of position of toggle on switch). Tie in new Black wire to GFCI. On wire nut with white wire tie in new white wire to GFCI. Do the same for the bare ground wire, if there is one.
NO - it is not safe to do that. A GFCI breaker is only a secondary safety device and your primary safety still depends on the earth wire in a 3-pin supply.
== == == == Don't know if there are any 240V GFCI receptacles so I vote for a 240V GFCI breaker which would be 2 pole. The pump should have two colored wires and a white. White goes to the neutral bus and the two colored wires go to the two poles of the breaker. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Black. wire goes to breaker, white wire goes to neutral bar, and copper wire goes to ground bar.
No. Not if the GFCI is wired correctly. The neutral wire should always be cold, or at ground potential.

A GFCI receptacle can extend its protection to regular receptacles connected to the output side of the GFCI. Each actual GFCI receptacle should be directly connected to a breaker in electric panel.
No, only one GFCI per circuit.

Normally it is a 20 amp using AWG 12/2 gauge wire. But it really depends on what size wire is on that circuit. If it is white AWG 14 gauge then use a 15 amp breaker. If it is yellow AWG 12 gauge then use a 20 amp breaker.
Ground wire connects to the ground bar, white wire connects to the neutral bar, and black wire connects to the breaker. Be sure and turn off main breaker before installing the wire or the breaker.
Connect to the circuit neutral wire which should also be white.
If you are connecting 120 volts, you connect the black wire to the breaker, white wire to the neutral bar, and ground wire to the ground bar. If you are connecting 240 volts connect the black & white wires to the breaker, & ground wire to the ground bar.
Yes, you install a GFCI on a 2 wire circuit.
