Yes the wire size is larger for that size breaker but will not effect the 30 amp breaker protection of that circuit.

No, you cannot use an existing 8 3 wire hooked to a 30amp breaker for a heater that requires 10 2 wire. The wire gauge and breaker size need to match the specific requirements of the new heater to ensure safety and proper function. You will need to upgrade the wiring to accommodate the 10 2 wire needed for the 5000-watt 240-volt heater.

Yes you can. As long as you don't use 40 amps. The 30 amp breaker may kick off if you use all things at once. So you are well protected but not up to code. The 4th wire required for the new stove is probably a ground fault wire. So run a new cable or cook slower.
