Also, would it be possible to install a x64 kernel, to transform it to a full 64bit installation?

Short answer: No, a 32bit system can only execute 32bit binaries.

you should think of 32 vs. 64 bit as if 64 Bus (mistakenly talking about processor) is like a truck that is as twice as wide than a normal truck (for 32 bit) , sure the 64 carries more cargo (data) on one trip than the normal 32 bit, so it is better if you use 64 bit OS to better benefit from hardware, the issue you mentioned is related to the way the apps are developed , the majority of 64 bit apps started as 32 bits apps that's why they have a hard time running on 64bit OS, due to it's original code base and the limitations of the porting operation
