    if the full backup is most recent and diff backup was taken after this full backup then yes.

    No, unless the OLD backup is base for the differential backup.

    You will get following error:

    This differential backup cannot be restored because the database has not been restored to the correct earlier state.

  • If you have not performed any full backup in between Old full backup and latest differential backup than yes you will be able to perform the restore.
