Yes. Its the same shape for both, just that the 3.0 device will not swap data as fast as if it were plugged into a a compatable 3.0 USB port. In other words, the USB 3.0 device will run as if were a 2.0 USB connection with no problem.

Yes they will. The USB 3 format is simply a faster data transfer rate. USB 2 devices will work - but only at USB 2 speeds.
