1. As long as they are the same speed, definitely. If they're different speeds, it should let you add them to a bond, but they may not work quite how you expect.

2. Of course. If you set up your routing properly, you can directly connect almost anything. Just keep in mind direct connections without switches in the path generally aren't great for availability.

Bob got it right, thats what you need to ensure.

If this is a firewall cluster you will need switches between the firewalls & WAF.
