There are many combinations possible. Generally, copying an "old" (but
not too old!) binary on a "modern" system should work. E.g. using
jessie's binary on stretch. And by "binary", I mean the command-line
version (not the GTK version), which has no other dependency than libc.
The command-line binaries are named unison-$VERSION (without the -gtk
suffix). You can check the dependencies by running "ldd" on the binary.

See above.

OK, my reply is not useful to you but I hope it will be useful to others...
