If this person was using centralized services, they have bigger problems over longer term than loosing some bitcoin sent to an old address. Not your keys not your coins.

Depends on whether you own the private key to that wallet. You need to provide more info on how that address was generated - was it a single use address (AKA bitcoincore), or a BIP32 HD wallet.
