Do the transceiver tool kit available in the quartus II is applicable to the Stratix II GX devices also ???

I am not using the Stratix II GX, so I do not know.
However, for the Stratix IV devices, it was not particularly difficult to implement the same functionality directly; using Avalon interfaces in the hardware and System Console Tcl scripts for access.

Can we characterize the transceiver features when we are using the transceivers along with the HSMC loopback connections.........

Sure. Samtec also sell HSMC-to-SMA adapters for about $500 each. They're useful for interfacing to different boards, and they allow you to test links with DC blocks etc.
