Yes. Nostalgia appeals to the adult generation, and they have the buying power. There is no one adult who doesn't miss something from there childhood/past so invoking the memory of these things to promote sales makes advertising sense.

Yes, I believe that it does.  Reminiscing the past has the same effect as dreaming big for the future---they are opposite ends of the spectrum, therefore just as powerful at evoking a response to the advertisement.

Defiantly. Nostalgia is the most emotional ad tool even in modern day advertising. It's like salt in the chilly and vice versa.
