Could I give gpt-3 a legal contract or a terms of service and then ask it questions about it?

Yes, and it will give you answers, it will give you an answer that is a blend of answers to similar questions asked before.

  But say I give it a new piece of text it has never seen before. Can it answer questions about that or it won’t really care about what’s in that text?

    It will give an answer, whatever is formed by extending the input you give it. The answer will be based on the text you provide, so in that sense it "cares" about it. Whether the answer is any good is another matter. But maybe it will find something based on its training data that relates.

Yes, GPT-2 could also do that. It generally works best if you give it some examples to start off. For example, I actually ran the following prompt through the full GPT-2. Everything after "How long ago did Elasmosaurus live?" is GPT-2 talking. Elasmosaurus is a genus of plesiosaur that lived in North America during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous period, about 80.5 million years ago. The first specimen was discovered in 1867 near Fort Wallace, Kansas, US, and was sent to the American paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope, who named it E. platyurus in 1868. The generic name means "thin-plate reptile", and the specific name means "flat-tailed". Cope originally reconstructed the skeleton of Elasmosaurus with the skull at the end of the tail, an error which was made light of by the paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh, and became part of their "Bone Wars" rivalry. Only one incomplete Elasmosaurus skeleton is definitely known, consisting of a fragmentary skull, the spine, and the pectoral and pelvic girdles, and a single species is recognized today; other species are now considered invalid or have been moved to other genera.

Or, a body of scientific literature, but how do you check the answers?

I don't know why everyone else is saying yes. No, in practicality you can't. The window is way too short for most contracts, let alone TOS agreements.
