Can a QML element be displayed inside a QT C++ GUI?

The answer to your titular question is, "Yes". I know one way to go about dropping QML into a ui, but I don't know if this helps you:

// inside custom QGraphicsView class...
 
...
 
QGraphicsObject *qmlThing = getQMLGraphicsObjectFromURL(QUrl("pathToYourURL"));
myScene->addItem(qmlThing);
 
...
 
QGraphicsObject * MyGraphicsView::getQMLGraphicsObjectFromURL(const QUrl &url) {
    QDeclarativeComponent component(new QDeclarativeEngine(), url);
    QObject *object = component.create();
    return qobject_cast<QGraphicsObject *>(object);
}

// inside custom QGraphicsView class...

...

QGraphicsObject *qmlThing = getQMLGraphicsObjectFromURL(QUrl("pathToYourURL"));
myScene->addItem(qmlThing);

...

QGraphicsObject * MyGraphicsView::getQMLGraphicsObjectFromURL(const QUrl &url) {
    QDeclarativeComponent component(new QDeclarativeEngine(), url);
    QObject *object = component.create();
    return qobject_cast<QGraphicsObject *>(object);
}
