If it has it's own modem, then no, because you don't have access to the hardware to connect the new modem to the WAN interface of the router. The best you can do is use the old router as a switch or hub

Roughly, yes. You should make sure you have no more than 1 dhcp server enabled and take measures to ensure that the LAN interface IP addresses of the 2 routers do not clash and stuff like that.
