Yes. Every node is really self-contained. When you send a doc to a cluster where each shard has a replica, the raw doc is sent to each node of that shard and indexed independently.
About old docs, it's the same as Solr 3.6. Data associated with docs stays around in the index until it's merged away. You cannot transfer just the indexed form of a document from one core to another, you have to re-index the doc.
