No.
I'm saying that
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.9100.1.101
will return the output of the script (as a string)
and
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.9100.1.100
will return the exit code of the script (as an integer)
This holds true regardless of what output the script produces.

Yes.
Or at least, you should certainly use
extend {OID} {name} ....
rather than
exec {OID} {name} ....
(The "exec {name} ..." form is OK)
Note that the structure of the "extend" output is different, so you'd need
to do a walk on the root OID first, to locate the actualy OIDs to monitor.
But this new structure is much richer, as well as being legal!
