I can answer #3. Yes z/VM 5.4 will run on a z114. We are running it on a z196
(big brother to z114), but we had to apply maintenance to z/VM 5.4.
You can find a list of PTFs for z/VM 5.4 to support the z196 and z114 at

And just for completeness, I have a customer happily running 5.4 on a z114.
I would go for 6.2 on the new box, but you'd have to think IBM would cane you
something awful with licensing for running z/OS as guests.
Needs must I suppose ...

z/VM 540 is at least supported on a z114... however running production zOS
under z/VM is not really recommended so I have to ask why you are not

System z push/pull process for the upgrade.
Here is a quick high level z114 FAQ
