don't think so - Golf3 = cable change gearbox, Golf2 = rod-change.  Totally different flywheel arrangement and gearbox.

As above no, I don't think it would fit.

You sure its the starter and not the solenoid/wiring?

Just DIY refurb it, its easy enough and will cost buttons

only 16v and TDI MK3s are cable change, so as long as it isnt one of those then yes the starter will fit. only difference is the plug for the trigger wire is different, but the MK2 spade will fit the terminal on MK3 motor if you remove the plastic plug housing

edit: oh and not a 1.4 or 1.6, those are different
