Yes to both, but the latter will run significantly faster and has more RAM which could be helpful depending on what you need to store and/or display.

If the LCD uses TTL serial you ready to go; if it uses RS-232 you'll need a level shifter. The latter is much less common.

These two are graphic based:

112 x 16 Serial Graphic VFD Display

120 x 32 Graphic LCD

and these are standard character based LCDs, but you can usually do custom characters to make little gfx:

Parallax 4x20 Serial LCD (Backlit)

4x20 Serial LCD with Keypad Interface

Parallax 2x16 Serial LCD (Backlit)

LCD Terminal AppMod

There are lots of other serial LCDs out there as well. As long as the baud rate is 38k4 or slower, and you are using a BS2 or faster, you should be fine.
