You can fetch each page in json format by appending
?DeliveryMethod=JSONat the end of the url. You wouldn't need the complete page, so you should also add&DeliveryType=VIEWlike that https://vanillaforums.org/discussions?DeliveryMethod=JSON&DeliveryType=VIEWKeep in mind you can limit the number of discussions you load that way.
I would suggest using Latest Post List and loading the module via js as the default view includes the options and meta list.

How? I thought it would always send the number of discussions per page.

The discussions view is sorted by latest first. So the latest 3 discussions.
