Currently, there is no manufacturer that makes a main breaker 200 amp service with built-in 200 amp ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. GFCI protection is typically provided through individual GFCI outlets or circuit breakers installed within the electrical system.
Yes, a 2 pole 60 amp ITE Gould or Westinghouse breaker can replace a 2 pole 60 amp T and B unit as long as they have the same voltage rating and fit properly in the panel. It is important to make sure that the replacement breaker is compatible with your specific panel model.
GFCI breakers are typically available in lower amperage ratings, such as 15 or 20 amps. 100 amp GFCI breakers are not common due to the high level of current they need to interrupt. It is more common to use GFCI protection at the branch circuit level for smaller circuits.
It is likely that the 15 amp tool is drawing more current than the breaker can handle, causing it to trip. The GFCI outlet might not be the issue here unless there is a ground fault causing it to trip. Consider using the tool on a circuit with a higher amperage breaker to prevent tripping.
If you're using a GFCI breaker then the entire circuit will be protected by just the breaker alone. Every receptacle, switch, etc on that breaker will utilise the GFCI protection. You may have problems with it tripping if you plug in a motor (vacuum, etc) on the circuit.

The pool light is usually on a 15 amp circuit. The breaker feeding this circuit must have a GFCI rating.

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.
Yes, a 20 amp GFCI receptacle can be replaced with a 15 amp GFCI receptacle. However, it's important to ensure that the wiring matches the new receptacle's amp rating, and that the circuit breaker protecting the circuit is also rated correctly.
The choice between a 20 amp GFCI and a 15 amp GFCI depends on the ampacity of the circuit you are protecting. A 20 amp GFCI can handle up to 20 amps of current and is typically used for circuits rated at 20 amps or less. A 15 amp GFCI is suitable for circuits rated up to 15 amps. It is important to match the GFCI to the ampacity of the circuit to ensure proper protection.
No, if you have a Square D distribution panel only Square D breakers will fit in it.
A 15 amp breaker is not sufficient for a 225 amp load. You would need a breaker that matches the load current, such as a 225 amp breaker. Using a 15 amp breaker for a 225 amp load would cause the breaker to trip immediately due to overcurrent.
Replace the 30 Amp Breaker with a 15 Amp breaker.
