As far as I know, a new series will be made.

Inbetween HFL400 and HFL500 ($200-$250).

If it has a normal MSX cartridge slot, you can.
Note that a lot of GFX9000 programs will expect hardware not present in
MSX1, such as DOS2 or a memory mapper. But if you want to program the
GFX9000 yourself, MSX1 is enough.

No.
First problem: you would get an I/O conflict as both GFX9000 cartridges use
the same I/O ports.
Second problem: final version of GFX9000 didn't include superimpose
capability. As far as I know it was intended but dropped due to poor
performance (shaky image).
>6) Are the VDP hardware-copy commands available in modes 2-4?
Those commands are available in all modes, both bitmap modes and pattern
modes.
>7) Does it have superimposing capabilities?
No, see above.
>8) In modes 2-4, how many bits has the DAC? (the palette can be selected

If I remember correctly, 5 bits per color, so 15 bits total.
