I think that would work and I may order a Leviton 8590-RBW blank GFCI.
Should I place it after the light switch for the in-ground pool light, or

Ideally you want to place it downstream from the patio lights so if it
does trip, the patio lights will not go out.
As far as placing it before or after the switch for the pool lights,
it does not matter.
I was brainstorming a bit ( too early in the morning for that) and you
could actually just change out your existing pool light switch to one
of these:

That would give you GFI protection as well as give you an outlet. But
you have to remember to wire so that the pool lights would be on the
"LOAD" side of the outlet.
