I think the AND gate will do the level conversion, i'm not sure ? ! ?
No. The 4011 will still be connected to the 5v supply so the PNP will always be driven as its base will not be allowed to go to 9.6v to turn off.

You could use a chip with open collector or open drain outputs. Another ULN2803 would do the trick but would occupy about the same space as the three resistors and NPN transistors it replaced.
