    Answer 2

    I can't answer specifically for Pokémon Black/White, but I've moved several NDS/3DS game cartridges between different DS-family devices, and have never lost a save game, ever. That includes Pokémon HeartGold and Y.

    Answer 3

    DS and 3DS physical cartridges store the save data on the cart itself. Because of this, it will be retained regardless of what console you play it on. (Of course, this can sometimes be false if you are playing on a fake cartridge, which likely isn't the case.)

    In short, yes, your save will be retained.
