Some have been the coolant contamination which will kill the transmission very quickly if the fluid is not flushed out right away and the leak repaired.
Other problems has been what you decsribe in transmission slipping where something is worn out inside the transmission.
It have also been some software changes to cure different ailments.
It's difficult to say how serious it is in your case without doing some testing. But if the car is not driveable at all now, it doesn't look good.
No, I don't know if it is possible to install the newer transmission in the early 2003. With today's highly intricate electrical system I doubt it is possible since the transmission computer might not get the proper signals and turn on the warning lights or send the transmission into limp home mode.
Most parts seems to be the same but the transmission control module and valve body differs between the two VIN.
