Theoretically yes but you should make sure the unlocked phone you are transferring your SIM card into also supports the same cellular providers operating frequency. Its like this, every GSM cellular service provider operates in one or two of these possible frequencies 850/900/1800/1900 MHz. This will depends on the carrier and the country in which service provider operates, its usually 850/1900 in North America and 900/1800 in Europe and Asia. Most of the phones sold in the USA/Canada work in the North American frequency and not in other, so make sure your new unlocked phone works in the particular frequency for your provider.

Can you have a plan phone and use prepaid with it?
Yes. As long as you are out of your contract or willing to pay the cancellation fees - you can unlock your phone and bring to a prepaid network. Once you unlock your phone, you just need to purchase a SIM card. I personally did this a few months ago, and switched to Straight Talk. I know there are other prepaid networks that can take unlocked phones as well.
How long can a SIM card last underwater before it won't work?
The Sim Card itself should work right up until it starts to physically corrode. So depending on the metal used, a very long time. If it is dried and cleaned properly after being removed from water it should work straight away in a functional phone. The phone the sim card was submerged with however is a different matter.

Can I use an unlocked HTC Touch Pro 2 with a Sprint contract - unlocked means no sprint or other company sign on the phone?
an unlocked phone could mean one of two things. One, the phone belongs to a GSM carrier (like T-mobile, or AT&T) but being that it is unlocked you can use it with any carrier that requires a sim card. The second can mean that it is a CDMA phone with GSM capabilities normally on a Sprint or Verizon Global phone meaning it is a CDMA phone with a sim card slot and as long as it is unlocked it can be used also with any other carrier that requires a sim card. However it has nothing to do with what is on the actual phone, so even if it says T-mobile it can still be an unlocked phone.
