A:
Plus Silverlight is backwards compatible (for the most part ;D ), so as long as they have the latest runtime they should be able to run older SL applications no problem.

A:
Silverlight don't require full .net framework use Silverlight Apps. it use a CLR that is a subset of original .net framework classes only required to run silverlight apps. More info about required classes for Silverlight: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc838194%28VS.95%29.aspx
plus if you have .net Silverlight runtime 4.0 you can run any silverlight app that is built using older version of silverlight.
