GFCI outlets work even if your TV does not have an equipment ground! They work by detecting stray current that doesn't come back on the neutral. So if some of the current finds a new path through...

Yes you can. You must put a sticker on the outlet that says "NO EQUIPMENT GROUND". It will prevent you from getting electrocuted and protect from some ground faults.

Yea, it doesn't make sense. It looks like it's grounding to your outlet box, but if your outlet box is grounded, why not change out the outlets?

Don't change outlets if your wiring does not have a ground wire in the box. Otherwise someone plugging in a device would have no idea it's not actually grounded.

The better option would be to change your 2-outlet receptacle into a GFCI. That's the code-legal way to have an ungrounded receptacle be a 3-prong outlet

Will help prevent electrocution behind but won’t reduce fire hazard or prevent electrocution before the GFCI. An AFCI breaker plus the GFCI would probably offer similar benefits to rewiring.
