Can I chain a Bottomless Trap Hole (that my opponent activated) with Xing Zhen Hu Replica and if yes what happens to the Bottomless Trap Hole after that? It's destroyed? It remains on the field?

Yes you can chain it, however the official ruling is that the effect of the Bottomless Trap Hole with still go off. The trap hole will destroy its target and then go to the graveyard (as normal), and then you will be able to declare a target for your Xing Zhen Hu Replica (that is not the bottomless trap hole).

No. In the effect of "Xing Zhen Hu Replica", it clearly states that "Cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this card's activation."
This means that you cannot Chan "Bottomless Trap Hole" to the activation of "Xing Zhe Hu Replica".
However, if your opponent activated the original "Xing Zhen Hu" (and I don't mean "Xing Zhen Hu Replica"), THEN you could Chain Bottomless Trap Hole (even if it was 1 of the selected Set Spell/Trap Cards).
See here for confirmation of the rulings for "Xing Zhen Hu":
