Yes - so the EID and RLOC refer to the same end-host.

Wrong. The EID is assigned to the end-host and the RLOC is assigned to the LISP router.

A host sends to destinations. So it doesn't know one from the other (a feature). So yes, both a non-LISP site host and a LISP site host can talk
to
both a non-LISP site and LISP site destination.

Let me provide examples, since I strongly think the answer is NO and feel
you
have side-stepped the question into vague generalities that ignores the
issue.

I will be very specific. Today my systems at home use an EID for TCP
connections. That same 32-bit value is used as an RLOC for LISP
encapsulating packets that come into my house.
