Answer 1

No, it is not possible. The version of IIS is tied to a specific version of Windows.

XP = IIS 5.1
2003 = IIS 6
2008 = IIS 7

@Sorcim is right. IIS Express 7.5 is supported on Windows XP SP3 and many other platforms as well. But you'll need development tools (WebMatrix or VisualStudio) to manage it because it desn't have the management console like the normal IIS does. – Simonsen

It is now possible to Run IIS 7 - Express on XP, this is a full iis for developing but not deploying web applications.
