Yes. The AD DNS server needs to be authorititative for its own local
namespace.

Make sure it is not a root server (e.g. no "." zone), so that forwarding can
be enabled, then enable forwarding to the campus DNS server. Make sure DDNS
is enabled for the zone(s) for which it is authoritative.

Yes, for the zones it controls. Since it does not support DDNS, you will
want a local zone for which your AD DNS server is authoritative.
