• Yes. But, the main unit is the one you'd connect. You could in theory connect the satellite to another router to make another access point extension by wire.

• The 2nd unit does not have an Ethernet entry port. It only works with the home unit.

• The Orbi router requires a direct Ethernet connection to your home's modem, but you have the option of connecting the satellite via Ethernet to the Orbi router or connecting the satellite wirelessly using the instructions located beginning on page 17 of the User Manual: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/rbk50.aspx?cid=wmt_netgear_organic#docs

• No, only the base plugs into Ethernet. No need to plug in both. The satellite goes on the other side of the house/building and on a floor higher or lower. Works great!
