While more may depend on a few more factors in your specific use case, you can tell that it won't be an easy task.

(1) Ideally you'd have a SSO (single sign on) plugin which registers and logs in users in both sites and keeps the user data synced in real time (as cron jobs would always be more or less "delayed", obviously). You can look through the JED if something like this exists covering both J!4 and J!3, I'm not so sure...

Even if that were working, then you'd still need to solve the issue of making Fabrik fully accessible and functional in J!4.
Soooo...:

(2) iFrames may work or not, it depends. Best would be testing it yourself with each form, list, detail -- after all, testing this won't be difficult or take long.
Should you get it going one way or another: of course, if anything in Fabrik affects J!4 site data such as J! user account data as mentioned under (1) or else, you'd need to sync it back to J!4. This can be possible fairly easily as Fabrik is generally able to deal with "external" databases, but more depends on your exact use case.

So, the short answer is: it's complicated...
