Simple answer is to question #1: Yes. BUT: you need to prepare this carefully. For question #2: Maybe look into the DITA. This is not a decision to take before you have looked into the current structure of your manuals and try to see from that standpoint what you would be able to gain from the change.
Me, I am using both Structured and unstructure FM depending on the type of manuals. In either type there is very little use for content reuse. We could set it up, but it would probably take much more resources and extra software (and maybe staff) to run.
