1. VT-On wont fit into Pre VT cars with out modding the exhaust. Which is a pain as there ain't no room to run a good flowing exhaust. However the series 3 VS Ute runs the same box and has a modded bell housing and cover plate which allows you to run the factory VS exhaust.

2. VT-ON runs a New design Torque converter which cant be used with the Pre VT computers as what VT_Acclm has said about the software. There is a new valve design in the valve body but it the same shape and the VT just runs a better sleeve to stop ware in the bore.

3. there is no way the trans would work 100% if fitted in a VR the 3/2 kick down is totally different and the lockup is totally different the life span would be shorter than the correct box.

4. To fit into a VS the VS converter would need to be used and the Series 3 Ute bell housing would need to be fitted but i have never tried it and will never try it.

Yes you can use a vt auto box in a vs. It will run fine off the vs pcm and you use your existing vs tailshaft. You'll have to grind away a bit of alloy on the vt box bellhousing to clear your exhaust. A vt box is much stronger than a vs.
