I think the question really is - how much overlap (3%, 6%, 100%, etc) can two
adjoining "cells" (for lack of a better term) tolerate before they start

a few more CRC errors, pile 'em on. I have seen two adjoining networks on
the same frequency, different ssids, and yes there were lost packets, but the
users just attributed it to a "bad spot" and went on with life. This was in
a medical building.
depends on your definition of 'cell', of course. Any operation on an adjacent (or alternate) channel will reduce the effectiveness of an adjacent (or alternate) channel receiver. WLAN cards (especially the newer chipsets) are especially bad at this.
question 2 depends on question 1 being answered.
may be much more than CRC errors, you might end up with a ton of retransmits, or only being able to maintain the link at lower data rates, etc.
