If your only service panel is 100amps and is going to supply your 50amp RV receptacle and the rest of the house combined then you may need to upgrade it to 200amps. If your 100amp garage service panel is a sub-panel of a larger capacity panel you are good to go.
Not required. Upgrading the service is not a bad idea, it just can get very pricey very fast !

50 amp is not required to have a GFCI but if you want one you can get GFCI circuit breakers for the sub panel in the garage
Your plan is good... Make sure the wire is heavy enough. I would go with at least 6ga
But you wont want to when you see the price of a 50A GFCI! :E

If you want to be anal use 1 red, 1 black, 1 white, and 1 green. 6 GA would be fine for 25 feet from panel to outlet. 1 inch might be a little tight. I used 1 1/4 inch for mine. I did not use a box with a breaker, but I am thinking about swapping it out so that I can turn off the power from outside. Just a convenience thing, not a code issue.

Hi,
I wound stay away from GFCI, unless it is required by code.
X2 GFCI outlets are known to have issues when connecting to RVs, even when they (the RV) are properly wired.
