Debian does officially support that, provided you do not go up more than
one major version step at a time.
Yes, but you should then read the "upgrade" chapter in the debian release
notes for the new version - sometimes there are manual steps required (I remember "pick a kernel package and install it", but I am not sure for which version that was). Of course, debian will not list raspbian-specific topics,
so these need to be considered additionally.
On i386/x64, I have done lots of in-place upgrades, in one case starting at Debian 3.0, and all worked fine - I don't know why is is recommended to do a fresh install for new raspberry pi os versions.
