Yes, but it will be routed.

Yes. Always configure them in separate ranges so that you
only have to change the subnet mask.

For instance, if you use 1-126 for one location and 129-254
for the other then you can always alter the mask, but this won't
help you now.

It's sort of silly to bridge a T1 anyway when routers are so
cheap so maybe this is a good time to reconfigure.
