its not necessary to filter water for gardens, plants live off many different items in the wild and need no filtering unless your putting carp in also.

Nope. It’s too strong and it may have oipenings wide enough to suck in and kill your fish.
You can buy a cage or build one out of wire fabric to encase the intake if it’s too big for your fish. Also you can change the size of the intake hose. Check in the plumbing/irrigation area of Home Depot. There is no reason not to use a pump you already have. Just take the precautions for your fish’s sake.
You might want to consider purchasing a separate UV light system to limit the alge growth.
yes you can, i use a swimming pool filter on my pond and i use a sump pump to run it, just make sure you cover the intake so you don’t suck up any fish
