Alexandrov geometry studies non smooth analogues of Riemannian manifolds with curvature bounded from below or above. It includes spaces with curvature bounded below (briefly $\mathrm{CBB}[\kappa]$) and spaces with curvature bounded above (briefly $\mathrm{CAT}[\kappa]$).

Examples of CAT(0)-groups
The answer is yes, since $M$ is a $CAT(0)$ space, and the group is quasi-isometric to it. See (for example) Jim Cannon's article in Bedford Keane Series:
The theory of negatively curved spaces and gr …

Connecting Lemma in the Alexandrov's existence theorem.
I am not aware of an elementary argument along these lines. A high-powered argument to show a priori connectedness uses Teichmuller theory (the space of polyhedral metrics fibers over teichmuller/modu …

Geodesics on convex hypersufaces
The answer to the question as stated is NO. Indeed, consider (the boundary of) a tetrahedron (or any convex polyhedron). Since the cone angles at the vertices are smaller than $2\pi,$ no geodesic can …

Is $\partial X$ a sphere for $X$ a complete CAT$(0)$ space?
For a piecewise Euclidean or piecewise hyperbolic metric on a PL manifold, the answer is YES. This is proved (p348 in published version) by M. Davis and T. Januszkiewicz in
