Yes it is possible. Samba can act as domain controller. There is documentation
on Samba web site.
No, don't need both, Secondary is a backup of primary in case primary became
unavailable for some reason.
I have used Winbind (part of Samba) and Kerberos encryption to authenticate
Linux box with Windows AD server (documents on Samba web site) but should be
possible to do it with OpenLDAP.
