My remote for my AppleTV (2nd or 3rd generation) has stopped working.

If the remote has lost its link with the Apple TV box, then you can unlink and link again. If your Apple TV remote isn't working - Apple Support


If I buy a new one from apple, can I pair it with the older Apple TV?

Get the correct model for your device. You can establish a link between the replacement remote and the Apple TV box, by unlinking and then linking again, as described in If your Apple TV remote isn't working - Apple Support. Only one official remote can be linked at a time.
