I noticed Sage can run a Python notebook, but it's 2.7 when I'm used to using 3.x. It is possible to update the Python in Sage? Also I'm on Windows so I'm using the Sage Virtualbox appliance, which might make it impossible. But is it possible in a sage native host like Linux?

You can download the source for Sage and compile it for Python 3.
For that, change to the directory containing the sources and run
$ make configure
$ ./configure --with-python=3
$ make
Before the documentation was made to build with Python 3,
it was advised to run make build instead of make,
but this is now fixed.
Making all tests pass is the object of
Note that CoCalc lets you use "Sage Py3" and "Sage development Py3" in the terminal or in CoCalc's .sagews worksheets or in Jupyter.

Not yet. Sage is on track to switch to Python 3 - see e.g. https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/15980
A possibility would be to import "things" from the future .

For instance:
For reference: since the 9.0 release (1 Jan 2020), SageMath is now based on Python 3.
