To attach a hose to the skimmer on an above-ground pool, first ensure the pool pump is off. Locate the skimmer’s suction port, typically found inside the skimmer box. Connect one end of the hose to the skimmer's suction port and secure it tightly to prevent leaks. Finally, run the other end of the hose to your pool pump or vacuum, depending on your intended use.
Add thru the skimmer box
I may be wrong but I doubt there is a scum gutter on above ground pools. There may be what is called a skimmer and that is sort of a hollow box like object at one side of the pool - usually located closer to the pool equipment side of the pool. When the pool pump is running you will be able to see water entering the box or skimmer. The purpose of the skimmer is to catch bugs, leaves, etc and to get the water back to the pump. It is part of the circulation system.
The proper grounding diagram for an above ground pool typically involves connecting the pool's metal components, such as the frame and ladder, to a grounding rod buried in the ground. This helps to prevent electrical shocks and ensures the safety of those using the pool. It is important to follow local building codes and regulations when installing the grounding system for an above ground pool.

The water will spill out through the skimmer, unless the skimmer it is blocked. Otherwise, it will spill over the top. It should not hurt the pool.
No the only thing it will effect is the skimmer and they rarely work too well any way unless you have a floating skimmer. evaporation and splashing will soon take care of it anyway. Rain is free water use it. Draining the pool will also waste pool chemicals.
If this is an above ground pool you could just pull the old skimmer out cut the rusted section of metal out hit it with some rust converter, replace the section where there is no metal with a new metal forget about the old skimmer setup and replace it with a "floating pool skimmer" they do a better job any way.
If you have the regular set up that includes a skimmer, pump and filter then you don't have to waste any water. Get an lid-to-hose adapter, that fits over the skimmer basket at your pool supply store. Fill the hose with water and attach it to the lid. Place the lid inside the skimmer over the skimmer basket, then vacuum to your hearts content. Pool Masters
