    1) No, ETH Switch itself can be mixed with other existing PC/devices
    2) Yes, the scenario user mentioned is supported. However its hard for us to test every possible scenario. If you have issue with this setup, please contact support for assistance. 
    3) Yes, PC can connect to Satellite.
    No, will be different compared directly to 24 port switch. Since PC will first share bandwidth with other PC on Satellite LAN, then the traffic from Satellite will share with other devices on 24 port switch.
    4) No different between Router in router mode or AP mode.
