1a. Yes. Though note that if you use partitions like this, if you lose the drive you lose everything on the drive. It's often better to have physical redundancy.
1b. By name... 1c. Assuming proper partitioning, yes. 2. No. Modern disk controllers flag I/O errors when the read or write occur, and we stop. Comparing "after" doesn't really accomplish anything. 3. They're not related at all. Note that FileVault (nicknamed VileFault) has its own set of issues, and requires special handling (see the User's Guide)... so whether you use it is up to you.
