My bike's rear wheel was recently stolen so I am looking to replace it with a second hand one now. However I don't have much experience/knowledge about speed gear and cassette compatibility. My bike is a Giant Escape 2, 2013 model (Hybrid road bike). My speed setdrivetrain is a shimano tiagraShimano Tiagra 3x10 (dontdon't know which series, bought this is a second hand bike). My rear wheel was a 700c. My questions are:

1- Would any shimanoShimano 10 cassette work with this speed setmy Tiagra 10-speed drivetrain? Does the wheel hub need to be compatible with the chosen cassette?

2- Would a shimanoShimano 8/9 casettecassette work with this speed set (possibly with a fewer selection of speeds) if the derailleur screws are adjusted correctly?

3- Is there anything else one needs to take into account when replacing a rear wheel?

I checked the official Shimano documentation for these parts (3700 series) but could not see any cassette compatibility information. I have also checked some other topics in this forum such as 9 Speed Shimano cassette on 10+ speed hub which mostly seem to deal with hub and cassette compatibility. I wanted to double check as there doesn't seem to be very detailed answers in these topics abotuabout derailleur and cassette compatibility and does not exactly match my situation. Thanks
