Yes, that's what old keys used (and many still do).

I think so, but I'm not sure exactly with which versions of PGP/GnuPG.

Yes, you should.

No, it is not.  PGP 2.6.3i* from mid to late 1990s:

GnuPG 1.2.0+ from 2002+:

though.  You might end up needing to tweak them or building/running in a
VM with a similarly old system.
