I am not sure what you are trying to do here, if you turn off the display of lists on the /listinfo page, people can still send emails to the list if they know about them from other means (I.e, Google searches, your Wordpress site etc).
For what it's worth I run a load of lists on 2.1.20 which is the latest stable release and most if not all the users are blind and using it fine with assistive technology. In terms of your version, you are using a pre-release/beta version, so depending on how you installed that would give you more ideas about whether updating the VM OS would break things. What OS is the VM running now, is is being patched etc?
3 is there a way of changing all my passwords with out doing them one by one
Do you mean your list admin passwords or something else?
Thanks. Andrew.

If you mean you want lists that are not 'advertised' to show on the admin and listinfo overview pages only if you and no one else goes to the page, that would require modifications to the source code.
You could possibly implement your own CGI or PHP page that would run Mailman's bin/list_lists command and display the results.
There should be no difference in accessibility between Mailman 2.1.16rc2 and later versions.
I don't know why a server upgrade would break Mailman. I suppose there could be issues resulting from an upgrade, but without knowing more detail about both the current and upgraded configurations, I have no idea what they might be.

If you mean list member passwords, a list member can change her password globally from her options page for any list of which she is a member.
If you mean list admin passwords, you can use Mailman's bin/change_pw tool to change the admin password for all or selected lists.

I run Mailman through cPanel, but on Linode, and upgrading my OS has never caused any problems. Also, I am a blind user, and there will be no accessibility problems by moving to 2.1.20.
