• You would have to look on Amazon and see if they even sell an adapter for USB to 400 female port. No one I know had ever seen one.

• You’ll need a FireWire to thunderbolt adapter to connect your hard drive. You can still use you FireWire cable you have with your Lacie hard drive.

• Yes, but not with a network adapter. Use the USB - C adapter to accept the exp drive USB cable you should have already.

  I would recommend:

  • 
    Apple - USB-C-to-USB Adapter - White

• Should work but I think you may be on borrowed time from your HD. I would save myself from a headache by doing a backup on a thumb drive and invest in a new HD (preferably an SSD)
