On the 60/20 gb, which has the EE hardware, about 95+ % of ps2 games work without any issues. On the 80 gb, which uses only emulation, about 80+ % work. On the 40 gb, 0% work. On all models, close to 100% of ps1 work fine.

No you wont be able to play PS2 on your PS3...you need the 60 GB or 80GB to play PS2 games...although you can play PS1 games.

This is why I'm glad I purchased my 60 GB back in March. Every game I own on PS2 and PS1 works perfectly on it.

It's how they were able to afford the price drop, the hardware was expensive.

FF 2 on the PS1 Final Fantasy Origins disc doesn't work well with my 60gb PS3. FF 1 on the same disc worked perfectly, but FF 2 glitches out and freezes when certain events happen. So far, thats the only ps1/ps2 game I've had any trouble with on a 60 gb.
