Gravity Forms is not designed to work like that. Gravity Forms collects data, not displays data. However, anything is possible and if you can explain exactly what you would like to do, maybe we can point you in the right direction.

My goal is to use GF to create posts of a certain Custom Post Type. Insert user-provided information into those posts (title, body, etc.) Then, another GF form would extract the data from the previous GF form and format in a database or spreadsheet layout.

You can certainly use Gravity Forms to create posts, even of custom post types.
I'm unclear on the second part though. What information will the second form need? At what point does form 2 need the information from form 1 (is it immediate, or will form 2 have to get information from previous entries at some later point)?
As for extracting data from form 1, you don't need another form to do that. You can export as CSV all the entries captured by form 1. You can import that into a spreadsheet at that point.
Can you explain in more detail what you mean to do, how the work flows, so we can help determine if this is possible? Thank you.
