The netlist does not contain symbols or footprints anyway -- just pins 
and nets :-)

The gnd symbols make sure, a particular pin is connected to the gnd net.

yes.

BTW, you may try the new "import_schematic" feature of PCB. This creates
the netlist on the fly and imports it into the layout with much less 
hassle than the traditional gsch2pcb work flow.
