Default questions about changing out wheel sizes?

I have some mountain bikes that I want to commuterize...

I have a bunch of 700c x 32 inner tubes. Can I use these + rims +
tires to change out the ones on the mountain bikes that use 24 x 2.10,
24 x 1.95, 26 x 1.95, 26 x 2.10? Are they compatible?

If not, what bike frame tire sizes are compatible w/ 700 x 32?

None of my bikes (even the hybrid) use disc brakes.

then you should look into the position of the rim brakes relative to the
size rims you're proposing to use - before you worry about anything else.
