Hi,
1) yes you can, but you have to customize error.php file in GK template folder
2) About effect on the SEO - sorry but we are not SEO expert to give such a expertise.
But for typical users (UX) much better is to see normal website with 404 info inside article, no additional page only with error 404 message.

p.s.
In my projects I use: eScope Product Handler or Dynamic404 - and I'm happy with it.
But check also others: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... rror-pages
