Yes,you can 'sub mix' maybe the drums with another mixer then put it through one channel although its better to use a separate channel on the main mixer for the bassdrum due to input gain levels. Other things can be 'sub mixed' but simple is better and watch you dont overload the main mix channel.

Yes it is possible. Before I had a bigger desk here I used to slave a 16 channel to my 24 channel board that way. I simply used the main outs of the slaved board into a pair of line inputs on the main board.
