I just found a sealed copy of Counter Strike: Global Offensive  in my old cabinet. Is it possible to register the game in Steam so I can automatically receive updates?

If the key has not been used already you can input it into Steam

 

Games - Activate a product on Steam - Next - Agree - Type in key - Next - Next - Finish

Should I install it by the CD or just download it?

It doesn't matter too much. The only difference is that downloading it from Steam will give you the most up to date version.

It doesn't matter, but if you have a small monthly bandwidth cap then install it from the CD to reduce the amount of data you will have to download.
