You still need to insulate, no matter what form of AC you pump into the room if you want any kind of efficiency.

Yes, blowing cold air from the other parts of the house is an option. However, the central AC is probably not sized to accommodate the extra 200 to 500 additional square feet of the garage, and may not be able to cool the house effectively.
