Yes. The built in USB bus has separates each port onto its own channel, so plugging in a legacy 2.0 device will not hurt the transfer speeds of other 3.0 devices also plugged into the hub.

yes all the 3.0 ports are backwards compatible and the 2.0 will run at those speeds while the rest have 3.0 speed.

No, it will not. Backward comparability works by lowest common factor. A USB 2 device will only operate at USB 2 specs regardless to connected target. A USB 3 device will only operate as USB 3 specs when connected to a USB 3 target. A USB 3 device will operate at USB 2 specs when connected to a USB 2 target.

It will only run as fast as your slowest connection. Putting a 3.0 device into a 2.0 will only get you 2.0 speed.
