This is what I do for fun, not for work. It is art, with a little engineering thrown in.

Generally yes. (There are many threads here that discuss this, so a search would have turned up some info for you.) Be sure you get the exhaust collars for the exhaust you buy, since different exhausts use different length collars. also, you may need to custom fab the rear mounts, since the mounting points are different on diferent models.

Don't bother with ebay. Do an internet search for a Vance and Hines exhaust for your 750. I don't remember the 'site, but I bought my exhaust for under $300 shipped to my door.

Do a search here on KZRider for "Vance & Hines" to locate the threads covering the specifics.
In a nutshell though, there's issues with the chrome flaking off and with what a PITA it is to get the muffler to slide onto the header.
From what I understand though, they have taken steps to remedy those probs. Hopefully you got one that was produced before their run of junk or after they started fixing the probs.
And yes, $300 to your door for a new system is a pretty good price.

I haven't heard anything about the chrome flaking off. I figured the price was so cheap because most people aren't going to waste their time and money on 25+ year old bikes. I don't know how "new" my Vance and Hines system was before it was installed. I couldn't find it listed on the V&H website.
