Yes you can, the process is pretty much the same, just set up sharing on the Win7 computer and browse for those shares from the Win8 computer.
Just curious... what do you mean when you say your Win7 computer is 'dying'?

You can, all you have to do is make sure the laptop is on all the time. Right click on it and just enable sharing for the drive. As for moving things, to make it easier, just make a folder in documents or whatever dump everything in there and make sure sharing and discoverable over network is enabled in the Network and Sharing Center and then its just a matter of copy/paste.
