Depends how you buy the licenses. But yes, that's the point. You buy current correctly and get downgrade rights so that you can run the version that you need but are licensed to stay current when the time comes.

Yes, you can do in place upgrades in most cases. Rarely recommended, clean installs are better, especially for servers. But technically it can be done.
