Well I sure hope so. I mean.. Microsoft spent a lot of time building an update for Windows XP before they came out with Vista.. I'm sure they made it so that it's... 'safe' to install it. However, my computer can't install it. I get an error and not sure what it's from. And btw, when Microsoft comes out with a new service pack.. it's normally a huge security fix.
yes

You need Windows XP installed before you can install Service Pack 3. However, if your installation media already contains Service Pack 3, then you do not need to worry about installing it since it will already be installed.
Windows xp does not have native support for SATA interface (except SP3). You have to download SATA interface driver from the motherboard/computer website and use F6 installation procedure.
