Arduino LilyPad Input Voltages Below the Input Voltage in Specs

The LilyPad spec page says: Input Voltage 2.7-5.5 V I understand that an input voltage greater than 5.5 V would damage the device, but what if it's below 2.7 V? Will it just be unable to accurately detect it?

Can I, Bi-Directional Level Shifter as Motor(3V) controller with Arduino Lilypad (3.3V)?

Basically this could be easily done by using a BJT NPN, but since I want to control two motors(3 V, 45-60mA) and 5 LEDs was thinking of using a Bi directional level shifter instead of using transistors for each application. Could this be possible ?
