Yes.

Yes.  You have to play with the list names if any of the Vdomains have
lists with the same name.  The local names for the lists must be
different, but the virtual names can be anything.

Huh? I can read this question several ways, most of which the answer is
yes.
Yes, the mail for the Vdomain will work fine on a server with real
users.
Yes, if list.whatever.com's mail goes to a different server, then it can
be forwarded (an alias setup) to the server with Mailman on it.  Works
fine, but requires that all lists be setup manually on two servers.
And yes, if that happens your Mailman server can still serve the mail as
<listname>@whatever.com -- it doesn't need to be
<listname>@lists.whatever.com, though that would work as well, be easier
on you because you wouldn't need to setup aliases on the two servers.

Setup a test system and learn/play/discover.

Some good reading that you have skipped is the file:
   ~mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py
