The node names within a single MIB module must be unique.
As must all node names within "official" IETF MIBs.
It's not strictly necessary for node names in private MIBs to
be globally unique, but it's relatively uncommon for the same
name to appear in two different MIBs.

It is definitely possible to retrieve an OID using the syntax
MIB-NAME::mibNode
It is *usually* possible to retrieve an OID using the bare node name
(with a small risk of getting the wrong node, if there happen to be
two different versions in the list of loaded MIBs).

Yes - the standard lookup routines will handle this quite happily.
The MIB::node syntax is handled automatically, the bare node
name might work straight off, or you may need to explicitly enable
it using the '-IR' command-line option (or equivalent)
Suck it and see.
