Theoretically you can, by carefully adding the pre-requisites for ISPC, but most likely you will create a lot of problems and/or even loose your existing websites.

I would strongly advise to start with a clean box using one of the perfect setup guides on this site.

I have a backup of my website, but if it install in a fresh container, it is 100% working well? and can i upload the backup of my website?

If you follow the installation instructions, it is working well of course. Then you have to create a new website in ispconfig and copy the content of your website into the newly created website directory.

Hi everyone

can someone help on what to input in this details needed in installing ISPConfig2? Do i need to register a new domain name or can i use my existing domain name or can I make a unique domain name in my own?

Please enter the host name: E.g. www
Please enter the domain: E.g. xyz.de

Your help is very appreciated... Thank you

You can use any domain as long as it points with a DNS A-Record to your server. If you dont have a domain yet, you can leave hostname empty and then enter the IP adress of your server as domain name.
