Much of the rest of the world is running 3.x. I strongly encourage you to upgrade sooner rather than later. The conversion from 1.x to 2.x+ requires configuration changes and tribal memory of what exactly needs to be done, how best to do it and ability to find third party conversion scripts gets less and less likely the longer you wait. Additionally, less and less people on this list have actual experience with 1.x... You're already somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 years out-of-date.

No.

You can do this with authentication enabled. Create groups of the limited view hosts, assign unique contacts to them, create auth usernames that match those contacts and log in with them. By default nagios will only show hosts and services that an authenticated user is a contact for.
