Yes.  GDB includes commands that help with assembly level debugging.

Hard to answer.  PSIM and GDB use the BFD library to load input files. 
If BFD can read it, so can PSIM and GDB.

Have a look at the BINUTILS tools (GNU as, GNU ld, objdump) and their 
documentation (BFD is part of BINUTILS).

You mean GNU ld?  Yes that can be used.
