3. You might luck out - it just depends on the total string tension of the set.

I have a Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin CW that came stock with (.012,.016, .024w, .032, .042, .052) I replaced them with Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Swing strings .013, .017, .021,.028,.039,.053 flat wounds. There was no need to adjust the neck. I never did this before but the average gauge of the original string set was .030 and the new ones are .029 so perhaps the overall tension is about equal.
