It's a very common problem. Steam won't let you gift other people too many games from your steam wallet because they think you're trying to launder money or make a profit in some way. Doesn't matter if you've been friends with the other person for years or even if you live in the same house. Because Steam is stupid.

Yes any game. Your friend would have to contact support and tell them he's trying to gift you the games and they would have to approve it.

It's about the ratio between purchases for yourself on one hand and gifts on the other hand. They don't want people to sell wallet and don't mind restricting actual gifters by this as well.

Best way to do now is trading, buy something from steam market and trade it to your account and then purchase the game. One of my friend is also getting the same error.
