It is very unwise to develop new projects in V2 Maps API (the topic of
this group)
Here is a v3 group

This is called "reverse geocoding"

It's a requirement of the terms of use to use the results in
conjunction with a map.  So you won't be able to use Google's geocoder
for what you want.

Yes.  Many points in the world don't have a very detailed address, the
middle of the ocean for example.
For many other places in the world, Google's data may not be fully
detailed.  Coverage is not the same globally.

Other non-Google services may be better or worse for any particular
area of interest.
