I have observed that most of the top players have a square in core of the base where they keep one or two most important buildings and surround it by wall dots. My guess is there they have there hidden Tesla's and to fill the gap they keep dots, right? But almost every one has same setup. Is it too tough to three star?
Here is an example-
Does this setup work for TH 10 too? Should I do this if I am trophy pushing?
The basic concepts of walls are to protect your Town Hall and/or resources. At your current Town Hall level, upgrading walls may seem expensive, but the higher your Town Hall level, the higher level collectors, barracks, laboratory, and camps you can build. These allow you to attack stronger opponents to steal their resources, by winning battles and increasing your trophies (which makes you face stronger opponents).
Stronger walls and a well planned defensive strategy will prove effective (to some degree, see the bottom of this answer) in slowing down your attackers. While your attacker's troops are trying to get through your walls, your defenses (clan castle, archer tower(s), mortar(s), cannon(s), etc) will be trying to kill them. I would recommend putting your defenses behind your walls.
To answer your question though: Yes, but it depends on the wall breaker's level.
See below:
Also, I mentioned "to some degree" because at higher levels there are troops that can jump over walls(hog riders), fly over walls, and there is a spell that allows all troops to jump over walls!
According to the wiki, Giants use 5 housing space each. You have 8 Giants which use 40 housing space plus 25 troops that use 1 housing space each.
8*5 + (5 + 11 + 9) * 1 = 40 + 25 = 65

That depends.
The example village, it is, like Momo said, either to hide traps, or to distract troops away from the town hall, and towards the junk buildings, pretty much guaranteeing a 1-star loss, instead of a 2-star. The placement here shows he doesn't want anything spawned in the middle
In my village, however, I disconnect walls to funnel troops into traps and splash damage, a common tactic, but uncommonly mastered.
Town hall 11 villages are essentially indestructible. What I mean is, you won't get a 3-star if you paid to flat out win.
Does it work for town hall 10? Somewhat, but I would more focus on the funneling, rather than the waste of space shown above.
Should you use it when trophy pushing? If you are pushing above 2800, yes. Otherwise, no. 2800 separated the men from the boys when it comes to attacks.
UPDATE I was requested to post my village. Here it is.

What the walls are doing:
Critical Info:
Critical Trap Village Building Points:
Make space around the town hall on two or more sides.
Inferno towers aren't the most important defense, but they certainty do help.
Always have more than one route to funnel troops!
Air sweepers should always be slightly overlapping, regardless of rotation!
Walls are your best friend, and your worst enemy.
Use normal resource storages as walls, and cover them! They'll be a massive roadblock for the enemy, especially one blinded by greed!
Leave no more than 6 buildings undefended.
Place Teslas as a lure for golems, not as a main defense!
Two Air skelly traps, one ground.
Build anticipating jump spells, but have a layout for when there isn't.
If troops are running around "useless" walls, they aren't killing your base.
Don't decorate your village interior. That's a glaring "Trust me! It's safe!".
