Depends. Could just as well be on SATA actually. Wakeup from hibernate
is a full kernel boot, then restore from hibernate device and resume the
hibernated kernel.

Yes.. don't do that while having system on the NAND.

Only freaky if you use NAND for system files and SATA for swap.

Yes, only which buses where need to be in the device tree.
