Yes.  see below.

>2) If I need to create a new list and move the subscribers, can I subscribe the new list to the old list so that any messages sent to the old list will be forwarded to the new list?

No, this is not recommended.

The fastest way to do this is to rename the existing list and realted files (See
Site Manager Manual Chap 7.16
http://www.lsoft.com/Manuals/1.8d/SiteMgr/sitemgr.html#7.16

then create a new list under the OLD name (with no subscribers).

Configure this "OLD" list header with the following 3 lines:

* The (insert_old_listname) list has Moved!
* New-List= (insert_new_listname)@(insert_server_name)
* Owner= (insert_new_listname)-REQUEST@(insert_server_name)

You need to insert the proper listname(s) and Server name above and
 do not use the () they are valid for the explantion only.
