Two quick questions:
1. One GFI receptacle will protect receptacles "downstream"?

2. All the receptacles on the circuit can each be GFI for the same affect as above with no problem?

Yes and Yes. In the second question using multiple GFCI receptacles will allow only the affected one to trip and not trip the entire string of protected receptacles.
 
You may already know this but if using multiple gfci receptacles. make a tap at each location and only connect to the line side,do not go from the load side of a gfci to the line side of the next one. it will cause problems and false trips.
