    Yes that will work. 

    Recommend using NG unmanaged swtiches for best operation and compatibility. NG GS 10x and GS30x series switches with out any character at the end of the model# would be recommended. I.e. GS 105 or GS 308.

    Recommend using CAT6A STP cabling in wall if you do have the opportunity to install LAN cabling. Good operation, performance and interference reduction and get some future proofing for speeds up to 10Gb on the wire.
