If you want your 'fileserver' to be integrated into AD, then you need
to join it to the domain, I suggest you start by reading these:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Domain_Member
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Idmap_config_ad
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Idmap_config_rid
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Idmap_config_autorid

This is where it gets a bit complex, your users on the 'fileserver'
(who undoubtedly have data stored on it) will have Unix ID's.
If you use the 'autorid' or 'rid' idmap backends, then your users will
get new Unix ID's. You are going to have to remove the users from the
'fileserver' anyway, so you could create the users in AD with the
existing ID's as uidNumber attributes (same goes for groups, but with
gidNumber attributes) and then using the 'ad' idmap backend.

Yes, but I would suggest you upgrade your OS and Samba, you can get a
very recent Samba version here: https://apt.van-belle.nl/

You appear to be conflating two machines into one, There are Samba AD
DC's and Samba Unix domain members. You seem to have the DC, you just
need to upgrade your (apparently) standalone server to a Unix domain
member

I suggest you post the smb.conf from your Samba AD DC and the existing
'fileserver'.
