I can't speak for the US passports, however when I renewed my Canadian Passport, the number changed, so assumably the same applies for US passports.

Also did a google search about the topic and this thread seems to confirm my suspicion.

Yes, passport numbers DO change when renewed, I have seen that with my wife's US passport, FYI the UK changes numbers at renewal also.

Can't comment on US passport, but UK (BNO) and Canadian ones do.

You can.
Passport data is required by the airlines for OLCI.
SFPD data only requires gender, name, date of birth.
(that being said, I memorized all 4 of my valid ones.)
