With a threaded headset the steerer tube ends just above the top tube, and the protruding end is threaded. The top headset cup screws down over the steerer tube and presses a set of ball bearings against another cup that's pressed into the top end of the head tube. Then the stem, the part that holds the handlebar, is L-shaped, and one end fits into the steerer tube.

With a threadless headset the steerer tube continues up a bit, the stem is basically a straight part that fits over the steerer tube. The top cup of the headset slides down against the other bearing parts and is forced downwards by the stem and a compression cap.

Unlikely. To set the bearing preload on the threadless headset you'd need to keep the top race and locknut from the threaded fork. And if the threaded fork was properly fitted to begin with it's unlikely that you have enough threads protruding to have room enough for that.

Threaded headsets are still easily available, and not very expensive, so there's little point in doing builds like this.
