Easy, just hook up the outlet to the wiring
Yep. Question would be what amp circuit is it but just buy a 15 amp outlet and you'll be good.
Also, buy a tester as another poster said and put it against the wire up there now to see if its hot. Then turn off the breaker for that circuit and put the tester against the wire to make sure its off before installing the outlet.
Home Depot tester. It beeps when the wire is hot.

If it’s in a wet location than you will want to get an “in-use” weatherproof cover or a similar box. Not a good idea to just slap an outlet up there with no weatherproofing. Also needs to be a GFCI outlet, or on a GFCI breaker.
