The head weighs 2 lb and has a tungsten disulfide coating to help keep the ball movement smooth while it minimizes sticking and slipping.

Q: 4. will this work on Gitzo monopod?

A: You could use this, or almost any ball head, on almost all monopods. Nevertheless, it would be overkill since the freedom of movement on a monopod is instantaneous and wide ranging, so you don't need the rotational lock for sure. You might also do without the full range of movement that a ball head affords and just use a simple Manfrotto head with one pivot movement. The money you'd save could go to better use.

Q: 10. On the Gitzo GT1545T tripod, with this ball head allow for the reverse fold of the legs?

A: I don't know. I have the TQD head (smaller capacity), which allows the reverse fold of the GT1545 legs. But the QD, according to the description on the B&H page, is a larger-capacity head designed for Series 2 Traveler tripods and the Mountaineer series. Might check the Gitzo Website and see what it says about compatibility in that regard.
