Acts 20:28
So watch out for yourself and for the whole flock in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to guard the church of God, which he purchased through his own blood!
There are some bible translations that write: " through the blood of his son". But this is an addition, the ancient texts literally says: "in which the holy spirit.....through his own blood" so the blood refers to the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is God.Does the “he” there refer to the Holy Spirit or to God? They are both mentioned in the verse, and God is closer to the “he”.
Yes. God has purchased it with his own blood.No it refers to the church which God has purchased with his own blood
Yes. God has purchased it with his own blood.

As others have eloquently pointed out, the "he" in question refers to "God" rather than to "the Holy Spirit". This is, to my mind, even clearer if you read this verse in the context of the preceding one, which refers to God's purpose.Acts 20:28

Acts 20:28 King James Version (KJV)
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
