I know that the gri-gri is only rated for 10mm but will it work for this rope? Even if it goes through quickly like previously mentioned, will it lock off if the climber falls?

I've used Grigris on ropes down to 9.8. It still locks off on a fall just as well as it does on a bigger rope, the concern is that it's a bit harder to control speed on lowering. As long as you have a solid brake hand and you pay attention, you'll be fine.
