Default collapse conditional formatting?

Currently I am using this construct to copy and paste a region so that
it contains no more formulas (the result is to be edited in ways that
would break the formulas, as in deleting some columns and reordering):

source.Copy
dest.PasteSpecial xlPasteColumnWidths
dest.PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
dest.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats

First question: is it possible to "paste special" all three types at
once?

Second question: xlPasteFormats pastes the conditional formats with
formulas. I want the conditional formats to "collapse" too, that is,
keep the formatting even if the cells are changed.

(Actually, what I have is:

- in A2 and below, there is a cell =IF(B2 < TODAY() - 90, "{old}", "")
- in B2, I set a conditional format to give the cell a red background if
B2 is < TODAY() - 90

However, I consider it unclean and only want the comparison coded in
once, that is, have a conditional format in B2 that checks if A2 is
empty or not, but as I want to delete the column A in the output, this
format would break)
