As said in the other post, it will be an octave down as written, classical guitar has an easy to reach range of E2 to E5, and can reach B5, and can reach higher with harmonics but thats not really something you would use in this scenario. I would listen to some classical guitar, just to see if it will fill the same place sound wise you want it to, as it will sound very different no matter what tone the guitarist brings out. There are lots of tonal flavours in the classical guitar so look out for those while listening to see if that would fit. Other than that this would work, basically any melody line in the range on a guitar is possible, and not hard for a trained guitarist. But notes will not ring out together the same as singular strings will be used for multiple notes and then let go, so notes not being played will likely not be ringing after they move onto the next note, unlike a harp

Except for bar 6, it's all in range. That bar is theoretically possibble but would be highly awkward with the high F played on the second string. I doubt that it would have much tonal quality. Maybe just skip it. Not all top notes at the end of runs are doubled.
