Yes there are possible errors if you input a not found or error command.

What will happened if I entered a wrong command, will the installation start from the beginning?

No. Just press enter the wrong command you input. And you can input again the same but appropriate command

GIMP is similar to Adobe Photoshop, you can also use it for editing and manipulating images.

GIMP is a cross-platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X, Windows and more operating systems. It is free software, you can change its source code and distribute your changes. - GIMP.org

Yes. if you don't want to install in Terminal you can use the Ubuntu Software Center.

Sudo, the one command to rule them all. It stands for “super user do!” By default, the password for the user "root" (the system administrator) is locked. This means you cannot login as root or use su. Instead, the installer will set up sudo to allow the user that is created during install to run all administrative commands.
This means that in the terminal you can use sudo for commands that require root privileges. All programs in the menu will use a graphical sudo to prompt for a password. When sudo asks for a password, it needs your password, this means that a root password is not needed.
