    Assuming your BB shell is 68mm English thread (almost certain, but you don't tell us what BB you have now) then yes.

    You'll need to get the frame faced by a bike shop first.

    No, but it is for fitting external BB's (suach as a BB51) where previously resided an internal one (unless by some miracle the frame was already faced) such as the Isoflows use.

    If it were external to external or internal to internal I'd agree, but it isn't.
