While it's possible to construct a case where sentence one from the original post is possible, doing so doesn't help the poster. Murat_turkey asked a specific question: whether it's "… acceptable to use a noun/pronoun before the infinitive to tell who is doing the action …." The proposed sentence is incorrect, so in that context, the answer is simply no.
On parsing (3), the noun before the infinitive tells who is doing the action, so I'm afraid a simple "no" conceals possibilities worth knowing about.
To be entitled to a "simple 'no,'" murat_turkey should have asked whether "suggest" can be complemented by an infinitival clause with an overt subject.
As it happens, however, the noun before the infinitival clause can tell who is doing the action if the infinitival clause is parsed as modifying that noun.
