Yes, you can.
I am seeking the age of my 410 double barrel shotgun. It came from my grandfather and has the following markings: Springfield Arms Co. Pat Apr 20, 1915 X57709 It has double triggers and is chambered for 2 1/2 shells. Thanks
No, it is/was not.
The maverick 88 is the mossbergs cheaper pump action option, there are three maverick 88 models #1 is a 5+1 shot pump action with an 18 1/2 barrel and has a cylinder bore, (no chokes) chambered for 2 1/2 and 3 inch shells. #2 is a 5+1 shot pump action with a 28" barrel and has interchokes, chambered for 2 3/4" and 3" shells #3 is a 7+1 shot pump action with a 20" barrel, i am not 100% sure but i think these barrels are Cylinder and cannot change chokes, also chambered for 2 3/4" and 3" shells.

Generally, you can fire any ammunition that's 3" or shorter (fired length) in a 3" chamber shotgun. however, a 2 1/4 inch shell may not be handled by the action of a pump, autoloader or bolt action gun.
All day long. Any shotgun can handle shorter shells than it is chambered for as long as they are the same gauge.
It will shoot any type it is chambered for.
It will fit on the frame but the action will not function with 3 inch shells.
Ensure you look at the stamped shell gauge on the side of the receiver (12 or 20 Gauge). Should be able to take 2 3/4" and 3" shells.
Is it chambered for magnum shells? If not, the answer is NO.
yes
