What Level Players use the Greek Gift?

I have been playing d4 so kind of know the Greek Gift.  But I find that my trap lines, which this sort of is, do not work as well as when I am on the lower end of my rating.

So what ratings actually use it much?

I seem to get it when my opponent chooses to play the Marshal defense.

I hope to get the queen, but if no bite this seems to present itself.

GM will allow people to get into position to use it?

Is the Greek Gift just the bishop sac?

That's a good question. Usually I believe it is. But I do wonder given the original "Greek Gift" admitted into Troy was a wooden horse. So I wonder whether the coinage of the expression might have been derived from a knight sacrifice...

Irving Chernev's "Logical Chess" gives games where this sacrifice is often made. Often they arise from a French Defence where the e5,d4 versus d5,e6 pawn structure encourages consideration of this possibility. The average club player will be aware of the “Greek Gift”. In modern times Karpov could have played it against Miles in the famous a6 game, but decided against it.

Sometimes the Bxh7 or Bxh2 gives a clear cut mate. Sometimes it is what Speelman called a "genuine sacrifice" in that the move is a judgement supported by some analysis without leading definitely to a win.

Later on in your chess career you may wish to consult “The Art Of Attack” by Vladmir Vukovic that tackles this subject in detail.
