any time you have 1" all around of new soil with no roots yet just be aware that without roots, you've just wrapped your plant in a wet blanket, so be careful not to overwater.. this is the right time of year to do it. your plant is actively growing and in about 4-6weeks the roots will have invaded that new soil completely and you can start treating the pot as a single entity, instead of a rootball with a wet soil blanket around it.

Yes.

I like to remember the new soil "zone" with larger and more sentimental plants, and water accordingly.

I assume the moisture will help tease new root growth towards it, but I try not to waterlog new soil if there are no roots to utilize the moisture yet.
