All day long. Any shotgun can handle shorter shells than it is chambered for as long as they are the same gauge.
The longest shotgun shell that you can safely use in your 12 gauge shotgun are 3 inchers.

First of all you would have to determine if your gun will accept 3" shells.Second,if your gun is very old it may not be adviseable to fire it at all.Have a qualified gunsmith check it out. In a word, NO. When you say very old and worn out you don't want to add the word MAGNUM. DO NOT USE 3" SHELLS.

Shotshells were not created until after the 1860s. First shells were all metal. Later shells had a brass head, and paper body, and could be any of several colors-
Not sure I understand your question. Lead is used in a lot of (but not all) shotshells. Barium, Bismuth, Copper, Tin, Carbon, Nitrogen, and Hydrogen are also found in most shot shells.
