Yes.

Yes, or you can compile the newer plugins on the destination server so that they use glibc 2.2.5.

Version number doesn't matter. Any will do if you compile them on that machine. What matters is what dependencies a pre-compiled *package* you've chosen to use has. If you're depending on finding an pre-existing package, you'll need to search the repositories available for your OS for either an older or newer version of the plugins that expects 2.2.5.

Yes, plugin version is not tied to nagios version.
