Yep.

Why not in the same ZODB? Maybe in a difference folder? Maybe on a different 
Zope instance?

NEVER use Zope versions...

No, look at products like ZSyncer

Easily, but by choice rather than by force. Have a look at CMF and see how it 
does this. You can also do this more simply by having all code in Python Scripts 
/ ZPT's and storing all your data in a different object type. Zope's power is 
that you're free to choose this in terms of what is best for your application.
