2960x and 2960XR cannot be stacked, as they both have different license

NAT/PAT is not supported on the switch. The switch only supports basic L3 on 2960XR.

15.2(2)E4 is the recommended release for 2960S

Suppose if we change the mac address of the device using the MAC spoofing changeR, how the switch will take once it learned the legitimate mac address?

To protect against MAC spoofing, there is the feature called IP Source Guard. Please  check the following link for details of the feature. Do get back to us in case of any queries.
