I'd recommend to forget about Direct Editor for the first 2 years of authoring the installations :-)

When I have created the folder path, how can I use it in a custom action as the working directory? (The directory is where a merge module is going to be installed)
I need to execute a GACInstaller in that directory.

Deferred custom actions are quite tricky, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367457%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
But you absolutely don't have to create custom action to install an assembly into GAC. You can achieve it by regular means of the Installer. GAC is one of the special directories that you can specify in the file system of the installaition, so simply put the right files in there.
