It would be easier to pack out the plasterboard
to the level of the old plaster.
Tape the joint ,then feather the skimming about

Yes .
It should be that the cornerbead above the door lines up flush with old wall so so what ever option you take make sure you have a bead handy to see how it sits at the moment its way off
