Possible, yes.  Also, you need to copy everything.

Yes.

        zpool pool replace olddevice newdevice 


System says on, you can use the data and after a while it is done.

If it's a bootable pool, then there might be a problem; you can do it in 
two steps:

        zpool pool attach olddevice newdevice (make a mirror)

and later, after a reboot from the new mirror (and after installing grub)

        zpool pool detach pool olddevice
