That lens will work with the D3100, except for the autofocusing. In order to autofocus with the D3100, you need AF-S lenses, such as the AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED or the
AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR.
No. The lens will work with every Nikon film or digital SLR made in the past three decades or so, though of course the autofocus won't work on older cameras that don't support AF.
Any Nikon digital SLR will work with this lens. However, there are two things to consider.
On cameras other than the D700 and the D3 family, the smaller sensor will make the lens appear as a 105-315mm. On the D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, and D5000 cameras, you will lose the autofocus capability.
This can be used with many Digital SLR and Film Cameras, the compatble models are Nikon Digital SLR Cameras D60 & D40, Cannon EF SLR cameras, can also be used with Cannon Digital Rebel XT 8MP
Here is Nikon's specs of lens compatibility for the D40X:
