Heat won't spontaneously bank up into your home without using energy, so you might as well use a regular heater.

Geothermal heatpumps for houses can only cool or heat with in a set temperature range. If it is really cold or hot, you need a furnace and conventional ac system also.

Geothermal power generation is only economical when the ground is hot hot hot at a relatively shallow depth.

We do, we have been for long time.

My home is ~45-65 all year around without any active cooling/heating. Outside temps can go down to 20s in winter and upwards of 100 in summer. Its pretty efficient.

The ground would be too cold in any place where you could conceivable need heating.

Pretty sure you would be dead at 100 degrees as your blood would boil off.
