In general, when an EID is assigned to a node, it shouldn't change. So if the 
node moved outside of the LISP site, the RLOCs associated with the new location 
would be used. But when an EID is assigned to a node (either static or via 
DHCP) and the node moves around inside of the LISP site, it is up to existing 
mechanisms to allow the mobility. So in the static case, that would mean a host 
route would need to be injected into the IGP if the node's address stays the 
same or in the DHCP case, the node gets a new address associated with the 
subnet it just attached on and starts using that address (and all previous 
connections are dropped).

Yes, if all those EIDs are in the same power-of-2 prefix which is registered to 
the mapping system as an EID-prefix.
