Yes

Yes.  I use Gallery on my website.  I use it standalone mostly,  
except for a most recent image on the front page.  Gallery has some  
modules for "blocks", these are ways to integrate blocks of html to  
output stuff in other pages of your site.  The one I use is the  
"Image Block".  Just install and activate it in the modules section.   
Then click on the "Image Block" link in the nav bar.  It will explain  
how to include the image block in your site externally.

If you are looking at something more advanced you might want to look  
at geeklog like Wade suggested.

Of course you can sell the modified code under a GPL, as long as you  
release it as GPL yourself.  The Freedom in GPL doesn't mean you  
can't make money, it just means that you have to give Freedom to the  
user purchasing your code.  This includes source, and the right to re- 
distribute, modify, etc.
