yes, they are backward compatible as well,so PCI Express 16x 3.0 will also work, but reducing performance too.

yes, pci-e is backwards compatiable.

meaning if u put a pci-e 2.0 in a pci-e 1.0 slot, the card would just run at pci-e 1.0.

and unless u r buying a really high end card, the diffrence would be minor to none.
