1. It is valid though liable to be challenged.
2.Yes if he so authorised by the Principal.
3.Yes if he is close family relative of the Principal. However if the sale was executed far back then outsider may also transfer on the basis of POA if properly registered.

It is contravention of Stamp Act,better to get new one set of paper.
