Yes, it is possible. There are only several "but":

- you could not name your channel with rh prefix (and redhat IIRC)
- if you want to sync packages directly from RHN you have to have 
subscription for RHN Satellite. And when you buy this subscription you 
probably will want to use directly RHN Satellite, which is more stable. 
But that certificate will definitely work in Spacewalk too.

Yes. Correct. You can mix RHEL, CentOS, Fedora or whatever. You can do 
that in both Spacewalk and RHN Satellite.
