Yes - as you have realised, this is precisely the scenario that contexts
were designed to handle.

Yes.

That section describes how to handle duplicate and overlapping registrations
within a single context.
If you are registering the same OID in two different contexts, then this

Contexts.

Yes - as long as each OID is registered in the appropriate context.

Yes - it's handled in both.
See the FAQ entry
How can I register a MIB module in a different (SNMPv3) context?
