You could but it's not recommended.  For one thing, you'd be ruining your
32-bit install and setting yourself up to overwrite the 32-bit versions
when the 64-bit ones arrive.  Too messy... at least.

You can call the 32-bit from 64-bit-land (i.e. call a 32-bit "ls.exe" from
a 64-bit "bash").  If you want this to happen transparently, I'd recommend
putting the 32-bit bin path in your "PATH" environment variable after your
64-bit paths.

Yes, it will use the 32-bit versions of these.
