CCS/LAUNCHXL-F28379D: Software Inclusion

However, I am curious if one can select an older version to use such as v9.3?

Yes, you may download and use an older version. Older versions are available from the CCS download page: https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CCSTUDIO
Keep in mind though that some examples/demos may have a dependency to a specific version of CCS (although this is not all that common).

Also, does CCS come with the TI C/C++ Compiler?

Yes each CCS release comes with a specific version of TI Compiler tools. You also have the option to install and use other versions of compiler tools with a given CCS release. https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_compiler-installation-selection.html
