Basically, this is possible, but you will probably have to manually start the RAM if you want to run it with more than the JEDEC frequencies.

This is possible in practical terms.
However, one of the two will usually be faster, and then the quicker will push down to the speed of the slower.

I and also take many other rates from 2 different manufacturers etc., because in bad case both cannot like themselves and it can lead to system crashes

Yes. The quickest is automatically adjusted to the slowest (also has to do with the laths). Optimum are the same as possible because otherwise in rare cases compatibility problems can occur.
