Not familiar with this particular wheel but I can interchange 8 and 9 speed on my wheels so I'm pretty sure the width is the same.
If it's really old it could be an 8 speed freewheel (which screws on to the hub) and would not be compatible.

Yes, you can.
It has the same cassette body as 99% of 8/9/10-speed shimano compatible rear wheels (which can fit 8-speed, 9-speed, and 10-speed shimano or sram cassettes).

9 and 10 speed cassettes will fit on the freehub if it is indeed a cassette bodied version.
You could even run 11 speed cassettes and shifters although you'd need to only install 10 of the 11 cogs and use the limit screws of the derailleur to prevent the last shift from engaging.

The early models had a screw on freehub, that can't be upgraded. Everything else has a freehub, that can be upgraded.
