You can damage the frame and shock if you do
Scott’s are very temperamental to things like that .
Reach out to their customer service, they are pretty good at replying. They also have a live chat function

Yes. Divide full travel by the stock stroke to get the average leverage ratio. Multiply that ratio by the new stroke to get the new travel. It will change the kinematics ever so slightly but probably not noticable unless you’re super in tune with feeling small changes.

Going to a shorter stroke should be fine. If you change the eye to eye at all or go to a longer stroke you could damage something.

You may be able to have a spacer put into the shock on the shaft to stop it from fully extending, thereby limiting its travel the same way forks have one added to their air spring shift. Talk to a suspension rebuild expert.
