That always works. There's only one MAC addresses that needs to be
sent over the wireless bridge and the added router NAT takes care of
the multiple clients. The downside is that you end up with what's
called "double NAT", which causes problems for any service that needs
to go from the internet, throught two routers, and to the client.
Double NAT is not a major problem as most services will work. At
worst, one gets to setup port forwarding in BOTH routers for each
service.

No.

Correct.
