I doubt it; you're still using nonbonded parameters from one force 
field, and bonded parameters from another.  Besides, OPLS is all-atom 
(although an old UA version exists, too, but I believe it is somewhat 
old).  Gromos force fields are UA.

If you believe cholesterol will suffice to emulate CHAPS, then yes, but 
given the fact that CHAPS has a zwitterionic headgroup, and cholesterol 
does not, I would expect them to behave differently in a bilayer or bicelle.

Either find a paper that details the parameterization of cholesterol for 
your desired force field, or derive the parameters for yourself (a 
difficult task).  You can use PRODRG to draw the molecule and get an 
all-atom .pdb file.
