If you mobo support the 800MHz, yes you can replace.

even if it doesn't support it, it will just run at a lower speed

^Yes, but this could be a problem. The system could start to have problems and show blue screen.

possible but i don't think it is very likely, I've done it in numerous computers and never had an issue

same concept as buying overclocked ram and not overclocking your computer as high as the ram goes
