Just connect the 2 wires, hot and neutral, to the GFCI. Ground isn't needed.

There is no ground wire provided with the timer but the timer bracket is metal and the instructions are to attach house ground to the bracket.

No it does not come with the ground wire, Just the unit and the power adapter.

Green wire, in a 2 wire home, generally can be attached to the ground wire. Be advised that I'm not familiar with your house, so you should contact a licensed electrician to get a hands on look at your wiring. I am only telling you of my experience in your situation. Do not assume that you will have the same result that I have had, or others that are answering your question. Be safe............

I had no issues with a two wire install. I grounded it locally to the outlet gang box

Yes, but Your ground wire may not be green. Romex electrical wire has 3 wires; black, white, and bare for the ground. If you only have black and white wires, it can still be used if you follow directions correctly. I recommend doing an internet search "installing ground fault receptacle without a ground wire." There are several sites. Choose the one that you can comprehend the best. I read several. Some were confusing. Depends on your level of expertise.

I think yo have to connect the extra wire. Red one according to the pic. But not sure if it has to be live or ground

Yes, you can use it.Connect it outdoors before the cable enters the house. A ground wire must be attached from the screw in the picture to the ground rod located near your electrical power meter.

Yes, you can attach the existing wires. Just write down what color goes to which spot because mine was in a little different order.

I would not bury this directly in the ground, needs to be put into electrical PVC conduit. Or the wire will degrade if installed directly in the dirt,and stop working

You can get a 2/3 wire adapter but you are not getting the protection of a ground wire. Am not an electrician so that's the best I can do.

For the device to work, you must have the ground wire connected to a ground source or third wire that goes to the ground.

Yes. Use in line fuse 5amp or so and Just switch the red and hook black to ground. Best place for ground is back to negative terminal or other source dont use frame. I buy black low volt landscape cable from home depot works great.

Yes, you can plug an extension cord into it, if it is two wire. There is no ground. But you can plug it into a three wire extension cord on the female end.

You can hook it to whatever is ground where you're working. In some cases this may help but I've never found this need. If what you want is protection for you or your gear, I would recommend putting a ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) on the output. Some inverters have them built in but I don't think this one does. You can buy them separately or built into an extension cord.

YES. Your power wire is big enough to use as a ground wire. Use one solid piece of wire for your ground, do NOT splice two wires together.
