No, you can not.

Each Version of Xcode includes only one version of the Swift Compiler. Using a newer Xcode Version will force you to adopt the new Swift Syntax.
There is an automatic converter available under Edit -> Convert -> To Latest Swift Syntax.

The iOS Version requirements are not affected by the use of Swift 2 (or Xcode 7). Apps built with Xcode 7 and written in Swift 2 can run on iOS 7 (same conditions/restrictions as before).
