Yes you can , as long as the board is fixed securely. Also you tape and joint the joins first .

It’s best to get all wallpaper and backing paper of the wall before plastering

Yes, it is possible to plaster over old boards if you use SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) or PVA (Polyvinyl Acetate) to prepare the surface.

Depends on the said wall, if it’s been affected by moisture or been degraded by any other means

Use a gritted primer All the time it isn't falling off it will adhere to just about anything.

If the board is sound, there is no problem PVA and plaster on the board but if the board is damaged and deteriorating, then you must take it off and replace with new board
