All usb 3.0 are backward compatible with usb 2.0. It should work with no issues. You won't get the fast 3.0 speed but you will still be able to access the files.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, but if you accessing movies, you'll want the 3.0. I've used 2.0 with mediocre results on movies, but that wasn't the router's or extender's issue.
