Yes - you have to update drivers though.

If your new PC already has a boot drive and is working OK, all you have to do is install the old XP drive into another port and you should have access to it to do what you want with.

Yes you can, although it might not be ideal. That hard drive might fail soon so don't trust it too much if you do use it

A qualified yes.
If your old hard drive is IDE, and not sata, you will need some sort of a ide controller or adapter.
