Answer 1

Yes this will work just fine. I would actually be really surprised if you were to find a CRT TV on sale that was not able to accept NTSC cable.

Answer 2

This TV will work fine.  

UCSD supports NTSC cable TV, otherwise known as analog cable or "plain old cable TV" , which all TVs can support  - including this one.

The TV you've found will also support the new digital TV format which will go into effect in February of 2009 - but this only affects people using an antenna (eg. not cable TV or satellite.)  It won't affect your channels at all.
