This should normally be no problem at all. I can only tell you about one problem I had. I had a potato box running Kernel 2.4 with softRAID and potato's raidutils. After the dist-upgrade to (early!) woody I had to change the softRAID setup to raidutils2. That was some fiddling and I don't know if there is a better upgrade path in raidutils package now. > 2 - I'd like to have SSH2 with SFTP working on it, what will occure if I > apt-get install the woody packet on the potato, how to do it?

This should either be no problem since the SSHD process over which you are logged in keeps running, even if you stop/restart/kill etc. the main SSH daemon. If you try to install the woody SSH package on your potato box you will also install all of SSH's dependencies from woody (see [1] for them) and you will run into some problems with reverse dependencies from other packages. Consider compiling the ssh package for potato or a complete dist-upgrade.
