Is it possible for a moon to orbit inside the atmosphere of a gas giant?

No, for two main reasons. The tidal forces near the gas giant would be great enough to disintegrate the moon (the Roche limit). Even if this weren't an issue, the drag forces from the gas acting on the moon would cause its orbit to decay (this is why the ISS needs to keep re-raising its orbit).
