For a well managed database, the user SYS should be the only schema having objects reside in SYSTEM tablespace. All other users, including SYSTEM, should have default and temporary tablespace set to some other tablespace at their creation time or imediately after that.
Generaly, only the system rollback segment and the segments constituting the database dictionary should be held in SYSTEM tablespace.
For user SYSTEM the usual deafult tablespace is named TOOLS.

No, it doesn't. This feature was introduset in 7.2.

"Export -> recreate the database -> import" seems to be the only option for your version.
