It's Kann, not "Kahn".
That's an important difference:
Kann: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Kann
Kahn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Kahn
Caro Cann is one of the main opening systems against e4. If there were any ways to get serious advantage against it people would not play it.The best try is I agree the Short variation.
The exchange is most certainly not the way to play it. The only pro is that it is rather forced and there are only a few lines so it is not so hard to remember. However when i still played Caro Cann it was played against me the majority of the times so be sure that black is booked up against the exhange
I think the h3 system against the exchange is crappy and white has to be careful to avoid getting a disadvantage. For example Ne2 can be considered a bad move as it might prepare Bf4 but black is first and he just plays e5 where if anything black is slightly better (what is that knight doing on e2 ??)
Personally I disliked 2. Nc3 and 3. Nf3 most. This system does not lead to a serious advantage either but it gives the game some extra dynamics and often non typical caro can play.
