Answer 1

The short answer to that is yes, your GPS device will work and give you positional information anywhere in the world. There are more than enough satellites out there to cover the globe and with the current amount available there are even overlaps.

The navigational part is different, you'll probably get the large city maps very well and the main streets but expect your maps to be limited and incomplete.

Answer 2

Yes your GPS will show you where you are but it will not give you directions as India is not yet loaded onto the GPS network. So yes your GPS will track you in India and will work.
