If the pata cable is an 80 pin you can use cable select if you like.
I personally stick to the master/slave jumper settings when working with pata.

Not a good idea. If you try to make the end drive a slave and the middle drive a master with jumpers, it won't work. Use cable select.
Install the old drive in your new computer first, boot it into Windows, then use Disk Management to reformat the old drive. It does not need to be reformatted before installing it.
