2GB of RAM is the problem. Consider to increase it, or use lightweight distro as Xubuntu or Lubuntu.

Yes, you can. Lubuntu or Xubuntu would be advisable.

Yes, you can install a 64-bit version of an operating system, for as per CNET your Pentium is a 64-bit processor. However, it is not a very fast processor, and when combined with the small amount of RAM you have, it will be a relatively slow machine. Choosing Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu-MATE, or another lightweight distro will probably result in a more pleasing user experience. The first three are preferred because this is a *buntu-centric support site, and we can't help with non-*buntu issues.
You may also wish to consider use of a 32-bit distro, instead of a 64-bit, as 64-bit apps use about 50% more RAM than their 32-bit counterparts.
Using a distro which has the Linux kernel 4.15 or higher protects you against Spectre/Meltdown hacks. The lesser-used distros may not be using kernel 4.15; Ubuntu 18.04 family distros do.
