Yes, either via reflection or via conditional class loading.

No, it should work fine. However, you need to compile for the higher
version.

Dunno. What's Android 1.2? :-)

Yes, either via reflection or via conditional class loading.
This was discussed here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2312321/how-to-use-contacts-api-for-android-1-x-and-2-x-simultaneously
and here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2044985/android-contactscontract-and-building-across-multiple-sdk-versions
Some sample projects are here:
http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/Contacts/Pick/
http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/Contacts/Spinners/
First one uses reflection, second one uses conditional class loading.
Here are two more samples:
