Welcome. Alcove installations have stricter rules for clearances, especially with a side door stove. Post some pictures of what is there and we can see if anything jumps out. And include the alcove dimensions.
"Possibly". We need to know more than just the brand. The MetalFab needs to be class A 2100
HT pipe and clearances need to be honored. The old install may or may not have been done right. It's best not to duplicate an error if it wasn't done correctly in the first place. For example, in an alcove the Cumberland Gap needs to be connected with double-wall connector pipe, not single wall. The alcove needs to be at least 57" wide and 72" high for side-door operation.

post us a picture of the label
typically yes, it can be re-used if its 2100* Class A pipe like Begreen mentioned
