You can try. Its not illegal by any means, but you may get pushback since you already accepted and was content with the offer the Thursday.

Of course you can. But how are you starting just three days after accepting??

Yes you can. Employment at will.

i accepted two weeks ago. got a better offer this week

You can ask company A to match the salary, or you can reneg and accept Company B's offer. Just know that burns your bridge with Company A forever

It’s fine. They may not interview you again soon. But that shouldn’t stop you if the other offer is better.
