Yes, you can install a game onto an external hard drive. The hard drive though sitting outside your computer acts the same as your internal hard drive.
If you can, try to steer clear of refurbished hard drives. It is such an important piece of hardware, it is worth the extra money to have one that hasn't had problems before.
