.NET is designed to be forward compatible, yes forward meaning .NET 1.0/2.0/3.0 applications should always work on the latest version of the runtime. I'm sure there have been *some* compatibility problems in the past, but generally you don't need to worry about it.
.Net 3.0 is using the same framework as .Net 2.0, so your applications will require no code changes in order to use it.
.Net 3.0 is a bundle release and includes other technologies such as WPF, WCF, and WF all in one package.
The next version of the .NET framework is supposed to be version 3.5. 3.5 will include C# 3.0, LINQ, extension methods and a bunch of other cool stuff, which will also support the .NET 1.0/2.0/3.X applications.

No, the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 includes everything that was in the 2.0 version.
However, if you're running ASP.NET, you may still need to first install 2.0 on your server so that the proper .NET extensions for IIS are installed.

Maybe. If you look in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework, you will see the versions in there aren't overwritten. Applications may look specifically for the 2.x installed version.
If something isn't failing or asking for that, I wouldn't worry about it.
