I don't see why not. Your HD 4000 graphics are not the best, if you want cheap slightly better graphics, you can get a GT710/730 but make sure it is Kepler based. Otherwise pick up an RX560. I have several machines on 2nd or 3rd gen Intel running Catalina. If you need wifi, you may have to swap your card to a supported module (you didn't specify).

Yes, I think so. Your system should be compatible with MacOS Catalina (and High Sierra and Mojave).

The OP already has a RX 580 which is much better.
