Moen and Delta shower controls are similar. Either one can be fitted in same locations. Both have versions for soldered pipes, threaded fittings , or PEX fittings. Both companies make a huge range of controls, so there is something to suit everyone.

Do you need to replace the existing shower valve if you want to change the exterior fixtures?
Not always, there is a standard shower valve that most handles will work for. it depends on what your set up is. As far as the shower head is concerned you should be able to put anything on.As I'm standing at Home Depot looking at all the different shower valves on the display I wonder which one is the "standard" that all handles and trim fit on. The fact is unless you are replacing with it the same valve or in some cases the same brand all the trim plates and handles have to be changed.*It TOTALLY depends on the brand and make of your faucet. You would have to determine what brand the faucet is(ex. Moen, Delta), The next move is to determine which model it is(ex. Moen Heritage, Delta Leland). Then you get their own catalogue # and determine what cover plate, handle and screws will fit onto your existing faucet, order them, and replace them. ALL FAUCETS AND THEIR PARTS ARE MADE DIFFERENTLY!!!*Cheers, QuiteSomethingAns 4 - YES, you DO need to replace this valve unless your new fixture is identical

How do you get the handle off to replace the washer on a delta faucet?
In nearly every modern faucet, there is a trim cap on the top center of the knob that is a friction fit. You should be able to get a fingernail under that trim cap and pop it off. Almost certainly you will find a Philips screw under it; remove that screw and the knob should then come off. You may need to apply some force to the knob; crud getting between knob and shaft, carried there by water, will tighten the fit over the years.
