If the game is one this list http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/back...ygameslist.htm then yes. More games get added occasionally as they get the emulation working. You'll need live and a harddrive (or maybe memory card if you don't have the HD) to download the emulation software for each game.

Yes, but be warned: even if a game IS on that list, it doesn't mean it will be emulated 100% correctly, especially when it comes to multiplayer.

The vast majority of the regular X-box games can be played on the 360, but like Ben said, a lot of them play poorly. Halo 2 can have background problems (things will stick in the background), and a certain level (Backwash) has a ridiculous frame rate.

If you have a regular X-box, I'd use it.
