Yes - to both - - you can mask the slot for grub2 - - you can install grub2 (that is the binaries) and continue to use grub legacy (until you issue grub2-install <device>). Personally I use grub2 for at least 2 years (1.97 or something like that) and encountered few to none problems. I find it even more comfortable (due to automatic config generation).
