you can probably get away with that just make sure you have an expansion valve on the evaporator. An expansion valve will keep liquid from getting back to the compressor.
Half way between the the condenser and air handler, in the liquid line.
not very well. a 4 ton system needs about 1600 cfm to provide it's full capacity of cooling. a 3 ton furnace puts out about 1200 cfm. in addition, the evap coil typically attached to the furnace needs to match the tonnage of the outdoor unit. so, the evap coil must be 4 tons. If you currently have a 3 ton furnace and evap coil, the system will not work, and you will most likely ruin the compressor in the outdoor unit.
A Ton is the measurement of the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice. It is also 12,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit) So the Ton is a measurement of the amount of heat that the refrigeration system can remove.
1 TON of air conditioning requires 400 cubic feet per minute of air movement in the average HVAC system.

Installing a 3 1/2 ton condenser on a 3 tr evaporator will not function properly. There isn't enough evaporator coil surface area to absorb heat and vaporize refrigerant liquid for its return back to the condenser compressor. What can be done is a 3 ton condenser unit with a 3 1/2 evaporator coil.
1.5 ton evaporator
yes it can. you can you can only downsize a coil by .5 tons or up .the flowrator piston have to be be changed according the the condenser size don't ever try to go more than1/2 ton it would damage the system.
It depends on the cooling load for the home. air conditioners are sized and rated as a matched system consisting of the condenser and evaporator. The capacity of the system changes with the different evaporators. Usually you use either the same size as the condenser or 1/2 ton larger.
The rating is technically a minimum. You could use a larger coil and have it work. But if its a Evaporator coil it will need to be matched on the far end with a similar or larger condenser coil. If the Condenser coil is larger it will probably just take a little more refrigerant.
No. It will be less efficient.
