Q1: Yes you can. The different drive types cannot be mixed in the same diskgroup though.
Q2: Yes, but don't insert drives into an MD3000(i) or an MD1000 that's attached to an MD3000(i) if the unit is powered down (you can remove them 'cold', just don't insert them 'cold').

Some more notes:
SAS and SATA disks cannot be mixed up in a disk group and cannot be used as a hot spare for a Disk Group of the opposite type.
Only Dell disks are supported (disks bought from Dell and listed in the support matrix for the MD3000/MD3000i).
SATA disks need an interposer card in the MD3000/MD3000i (They should come with the SATA disks from Dell, but just wanted to confirm)
