Answers:
i say yes
it will just dissolve quicker
Confectioners' sugar is ground to different degrees of fineness, the most common of which are XXX, XXXX, and 10X, where the grains are finer as the number of Xs increases!.

Because confectioners' sugar dissolves almost instantly, it is generally used in dishes and recipes that don't require cooking, such as icings, sauces, and some candies!. You can cook with confectioners' sugar, but very few people do!. First, it is about twice as expensive by weight as granulated sugar!. Then you have to use 1-3/4 cups for every cup of granulated sugar, making it nearly twice as expensive again!.

I don't think you'll get the same result from powdered sugar because of the way that regular sugar dissolves!. You want a homogenous mixture, and confectioners sugar probably won't produce the desired result!.

Honestly, you should have regular, white sugar anyway!.!.!. so you might as well get some!. You could try making the simple syrup with powdered, but you may end up wasting it!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Powdered sugar has cornstarch added to it to help prevent caking!. The mixture will not be the same, it may be cloudy and may thicken, although I do not think there is enough cornstarch to thicken!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
