Easy (I guess).  You just need to change name of executables,
ruby.exe and rubyw.exe, when you install them in same directory
to share site_ruby directory.  Fundamentally, ruby itself never
modify system DLL's nor registory.

AFIAK, no.  You need to compile by yourself, perhaps replacing
all "ruby16.dll" with "ruby17.dll" in src/exerb/exerb.cpp.
Although I've never tried yet.
