You can play which ever way you'd like to, but most legacy challenges in general continue through generations (to keep it a legacy of your first sim) like you showed in your example
Housing situations can be whatever you would like! You can move as many or as little times as you wish and to wherever you please. Some people like to play like a strict legacy where you improve one lot through the generations, but I personally like to move about. For the last gens you just have to have them in the same household until they die instead of moving them out
Yes of course! At the end of the day the challenge is for you to have fun with.
