Yes.

No.

You can't.

You'll have to combine Static and Dynamic VLANs at the same switch port. The
switch port will have to handle the 802.1q NIC via the Dynamic VLAN aspect
and at the same time accepting traffic from the Virtual Adapter and whatever
subnet it is "statically" part of.

For example if the physical NIC is VLAN-1 using "tagging" and the Virtual
Adapter is in VLAN-2 "statically", then the Switch Port will have to be set
to be "statically" on VLAN-2 while also being on VLAN-1 "dynamically".
Switch Ports can be on multiple VLANs at the same time, but only one can be
"static" and others have to be "tagged".
