Yes and yes.  You should re-run faxsetup after this, however.

It shouldn't, but I advise that you always have a backup for anything 
that you don't anxiously want to recreate.  There are some differences 
between the hylafax.org RPMs and those on Sourceforge.

Others (probably who are not reading this list) would be able to comment 
better on a 4.3.1 --> 5.0.4 transition, as I never used 4.3.1 myself and 
really am not keenly aware of any issues.  I've only performed a 
4.3.1-to-5.0.4 conversion once myself, and in that case I removed 4.3.1 
entirely (rpm -e) before installing 5.0.4 just because I wanted to avoid 
any issues that I didn't foresee and I didn't want to spend any time 
investigating them and there was no configuration at all worth saving.  
I advise doing the same - with a backup in-tow - if you experience issues.

The RH9 RPM should work for you I believe, yes.
