You can extend the life of a subkey (when editing your key, select the
subkey then issue the "expire" command), but I've more often seen
people suggest replacing it.

Yes, the signatures are always on the main key and the subkeys are
bound to the main key. The fact that signatures on the main key may
predate creation of a particular subkey does not matter (as far as I
know).
