Online ITR filing - Import JSON? And also multiple draft possible?

I have two questions.

Question 1:

So I started filling data for income tax return using offline filing utility.

But now I realized that I can file online too and I think it is better to file online as I do not have to keep updating the utility when they release new one and I can fill data from home or office anywhere.

But I have already filled some data in offline utility and created JSON file.

Is it possible to import same JSON for online filing so that I do not have to type all the data again and then continue to add more data?

 

Question 2:

I am not sure if I will file ITR 2 or ITR 3.

In income tax website when I start filing online it shows me option to continue with old draft (based on ITR 2) or start a fresh one.

What will happen if happen if I start new with ITR 3... will the existing ITR 2 draft be deleted OR both ITR 2 and ITR 3 draft can coexist? Then I can keep both ready and file the anyone at end.

 

If anyone knows than please clarify.

Thank you
