Yes you can. Any capacity 2.5" drive should fit in.

Short answer, most likely. You forgot to include is it PATA (Not sure if available or SATA in which case Yes.

If you are running windows 7 this becomes very easy. Just use Windows 7 back-up (it's in control panel, system and Security) make a image of your C drive onto a Backup USB Hard drive (or to DVDs) then as prompted make a bootable repair Disk. Put new HDD in laptop, run Repair disk and repair from Image. NO Re-install operating system, no re-install of programs - Poof like the majic dragon, every thing is on your new HDD including favorities.
