Can I install IPA on iOS simulator?

You cannot run an ipa file in the simulator because the ipa file is compiled for a phone's ARM architecture, not the simulator's x86 architecture. However, you can extract an app installed in a local simulator, send it to someone else, and have them copy it to the simulator on their machine.

No, you cannot, because the App Store apps are compiled for the iPhone (ARM), not the simulator (x86). Sorry.
