Yes this is possible to do a similar thing to your primary backups to tape using GFS. You set up the GFS media pool then configure the settings for it. Review this page for an explanation - GFS Media Pools - User Guide for VMware vSphere (veeam.com)

You don’t need to setup different media pools for daily, weekly, monthly, yearly backups - just use a GFS Tape job and it will organize all these backups in one mediapool.

It will write daily, weekly, monthly, yearly backups data to different tapes from that one mediapool.
So it segregate backups, it will not dump the weekly& Monthly backups in one tapes.

No it will not as it will create tapes for each category.

It creates separate tapes for each “kind" of backups. You can distinguish them with the mediaset labels.
