Sorry if this is a frequently asked question, but it's not easy to

No.

Yes.
We are not yet at the point you could use IPA-hosted identities to login
to Windows machines joined to AD, though, regardless which AD
implementation it is.
(That is: assuming I want central AAA for both Linux boxes and Windows
boxes)
Things I found:

... report on work-in-progress. It does say:
" FreeIPA Domain Controller is unlike Samba AD → Windows cannot be
joined to FreeIPA". But it's not clear if this is an eventual goal,
or whether it's likely to remain this way.
Eventual goal is to allow IPA-hosted identities to be used to login to
Windows machines joined to Samba AD.
