Can the term "exists" even be meaningfully applied to God? Since "existence" is a category within the universe, does saying "God exists" place God within creation rather than as the ground of all being?

Yes. Existence is not contingent on God

Read the paper "Into the Dark" by Eric Perl. He addresses exactly this with the apophaticism of Plotinus, Proclus and Aquinas
