You can, but the latest version will have a soft fork, so you should be fine but you won't have access to the features the soft fork enables.

You can encrypt the wallet using Bitcoin Core's wallet encryption. There should be an option to add a password.

It is not possible to move the wallet.dat file to another directory and use it from there. You can however move the entire data directory. If you moved the whole thing into an encrypted folder, as long as the folder is decrypted while you are using it, then Bitcoin core can access that. You just need to start it with some options in the command.

If the Bitcoin Core version your using is obsolete it might not have the latest security features.

Why do you feel comfortable using the old version of Bitcoin Core?

The same way you installed the old version[1]. Make a backup of your wallet.dat just in case. In includes your transaction history as well as all your private keys.

[1] AFAIK there is no rpm for CentOS, so I assume you did it with the tarball

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

Which version of Bitcoin Core are you currently using? If its very old you will need to re-download the entire blockchain.

Just make sure to backup your wallet.dat before doing anything.
