"and" shall be "AMD"? If so: yes.

Yes, on AMD64 and as well on Intel's EMT64 you can run 32bit
applications and use 32bit libraries. This is why the x86_64 arch of
Fedora Core ships x86_64 and i386 packages.

Yes.
x86_64 can run native 32bit applications out of the box. 
(My x86/64 FC4 runs 32bit OpenOffice, 32bit media player and... computer
games :))
