I am not sure Switch could have existed in 2013 as it does. If so it would have been less powerful or more expensive. At that point Wii U was also just a year old, which inspired Switch.

It would have been impossible. 28nm+Tegra 4 was what was "leading edge" on the market at the time.

Unless of course Nintendo went the custom route and built a mobile chip geared towards gaming rather than take an off-the-shelf SoC.

What would a 2013 Switch be in terms of power, something between Vita & 360?
