You should soak the gauze and the skin under it with water. The blood should wash off. You might need to tug gently on the gauze if it doesn't fall off. I hope whoever's hurt gets better!

dried blood from scrapes or a cut, that clots (dried blood that quit bleeding) on the surface of your skin.

Wow! Soaking a wound in saline (preferably sterile saline) for one hour should be sufficient to remove the gauze attached to the wound. If, after soaking this length or time, and the gauze is still adhered, then be very careful. If this is still an open wound, then pulling the gauze off forcefully could restart bleeding or pull away healing tissue. Slowly pull the very outer edges of the gauze while continuing to allow the wound to soak in the saline would be the best thing to do next. If you are still not successful in removing the gauze you may want to seek assistance at your health care provider's office. How long has the gauze been on the wound? If gauze has been on an open would for even 36 - 48 hours, the skin of the healing wound may actually have begun growing into the gauze. You definitely need to have you doctor remove the gauze and assess the wound.
No. Pushing on the skin will force the blood out temporarily but not remove the pigment, which is several layers thick.
The kidneys remove nitrogenous wastes from the blood through filtering. The skin and liver remove other types of wastes.
Blood turns brown because the iron in your blood oxidizes thus creating iron oxides AKA rust.

NO! The skin helps keep out germs and infections, but if it does a bad job, the immune system kicks in.
No, it is not. However, it does carry wastes to areas that remove wastes from the blood and therefore from the body: lungs, kidneys, and even the skin.
