What you probably want is called "old Montreal"/"Vieux-Montréal", there is an area called the Latin Quarter too, an area of restaurants and galleries along Rue St. Denis that also has it's charms but if what you want to see is old stuff then it's Vieux-Montréal you want.
If appropriately dressed sure. Given that you are headed for ORD next where it can be as cold although generally less snowy you're going to need a winter coat/boots/hat/gloves anyway.

YVR is Vancouver, don't think they would necessarily allow that as it's backtracking.
