1. Can I build SQL 2012 on it and migrate 2k8 to it and then get rid of 2k8

2. It is possible to run another Instance from the cluster(without effecting current prod environment) ?
The answer to both these questions is a question itself, "what capacity do the nodes have to support a second clustered instance of SQL Server"?
More to the point,do you even intend to cluster the 2012 instance or install it standalone
(maybe for use with AlwaysOn groups 😉 )?

What are the steps ?, anything special I need to consider ? any performance issues with #2
Extra storage, extra IP addresses, extra resource consumption on the node(s).
