indexing the site makes it visible to Google, so if your planning to use a 301 redirect it is important that Google should know that your old domain exists. only then it is beneficial to use 301.

But I thought they de-index sites without content?

Not really. As long as there are active nameservers the domain can sit for years indexed.

domain age is an important SEO factor for your Google ranking. Among the hundreds of weighting factors that Google considers in determining how to rank search engine results is the age of your domain in other words, how long that domain has been around.
It’s worth noting that domain age isn’t referring just to how long you have owned a given domain name, but instead how long it has been since Google first indexed that domain, or saw a link to the domain. Because of this many companies purchase “aged” domains that have been around for a while for the extra bit of Google oomph.

YES!
Rebuild the old site with its original URL structures. Make sure it all gets indexed like a normal site. Then 301 to similar URL's from the old to the new via htaccess configuration.
