Replace OTR microwave with range hood

Hi. We are closing on a new build house. The house comes with an over the range microwave, which I understand is vented through the back wall using a standard 3 1/4"x10" vent. I want to replace the microwave with a powerful range hood. Couple of questions:

1) Will this rectangular vent be compatible with a range hood, and is it's current location, behind the microwave be ok for the range hood to connect to?

2) Can I take the OTR microwave, stick some rubber feet on it, and use it as a countertop microwave?

thanks
