both these two questions depend upon the terms of the partnership deed. if the same allows you to do so, then for query 1 there shall be no problem.
2. yes if three wish to dissolve then they can dissolve the partnership firm but it depends upon the relevant clause. also check out the relevant cause in the deed. was it at will?

Normally, a partner is not allowed to use the firm's name to run his own proprietorship, unless the same is permitted under the deed or any other arrangement between the partners.
If the partnership is a Partnership at will, then even one partner can seek dissolution of the firm.
