No. 2.2 didn't get the mount option format change.

If you set CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT to the value it should be "iso8859-1" it
will work (cp850 is wrong, you do not have that as your charset on the
linux side. The default value in config "cp437" is also wrong, it should
be a charset and not a codepage).

Yes, the patch for 2.2.16 doesn't work on newer kernels.

Configure it statically, or use a 2.4 kernel with samba 2.2.0.
