If Microsoft Exchange servers are installed on a computer with Symantec Endpoint Protection client, the client software automatically detects the presence of Exchange. When the client software detects a Microsoft Exchange server, it creates the appropriate file and folder exclusions for File System Auto-Protect and all other scans. Microsoft Exchange servers can include clustered servers. The client software checks for changes in the location of the appropriate Exchange files and folders at regular intervals. If Exchange is installed on a computer where the client software is already installed, the exclusions are created when the client checks for changes. The client excludes both files and folders; if a single file is moved from an excluded folder, the file remains excluded.

 The latest available release of the Symantec Endpoint Protection client software creates file and folder scan exclusions for the following Microsoft Exchange server versions:
•Exchange 5.5
•Exchange 2000
•Exchange 2003
•Exchange 2007
•Exchange 2010 (introduced with SEP 11 RU6 MP1)
•Exchange 2013 (introduced with SEP 12.1 RU3)
•Exchange 2016 (introduced with SEP 14)
May be new version of SEP is enough intelligent but I have shared the best practice to you. So answer to you main question is yes you can install all of three components of SEP.

Yes, SEP has automatic exclusion feature, as far as I know. However, you still check manually, if Exchange bin, logs and db folders are excluded.
