Windows Service Pack 3 is a service pack that is developed by Microsoft for Windows XP. In order to install it you just need to turn on Automatic Updates on your computer or alternatively download it from the Microsoft website.
No, when the final service pack is released Service Pack 3 will install over Service Pack 2, just as in every past version of Windows.
Yes. Windows XP can be upgraded from the RTM release or a service pack to any subsequent service pack. For example: Windows XP RTM ---> Windows XP Service Pack 3 Windows XP Service Pack 1 ---> Windows XP Service Pack 3 Windows XP RTM ---> Windows XP Service Pack 2 Service Pack 3 is the latest service pack for Windows XP; any planned updates should be to this service pack, and not an older one. As per above, you do not need to install any previous service packs before installing Service Pack 3.
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.
