A can execute a POA abroad attested by a Notary/embassy in favour of his friend in India. And you should execute the Gift deed also. The POA should be got validated by the District Registrar concerned. Then the gift deed will be registered. All your 4 queries were answered.

Generally a power of Attorney holder can't execute giftdeed on behalf of principal unless principal specifically authorized to him to execute gift deed in favour of particular person.

Yes, the Gift deed could be executed by the donor and got registered through the duly authorised. However, it needs to be ensured that the signature of the donor in the Gift deed is attested by two witnesses in accordance with the provisions of the Transfer of Property Act.
