There is no problem to use a recent pool version with an old filesystem
version.

Upgrade if you want the new filesystem features (e.g. case insensitivity,
user accounting & quotas).

Yes.

Some filesystem versions require a corresponding pool version.  E.g. fs
version 4 (userquotas) requires pool version 15.  So you can not send a
version 4 filesystem to a pool that is version < 15.  Also, you can not
send a version X filesystem to a machine that does not understand that
filesystem version.
