Yes this is possible.
You have to install 3.x on another server than 2.x and use the same DB.

Beware:
The database location is stored in the DB itself.
Therefore if you used "localhost", this will not work from the second
machine.
If you used an DNS Alias (e.g. defined in /etc/hosts)

No, not at all.
That script is only needed, if you want to change to the new db schema
with only a few tables for all users, instead of 6 tables per user.
Then you have to change the SOGo configuration too.

Yes, 2.3 is not capable of using the new schema (yet?).

If you keep the existing db schema, it will work without problems.
