A:
Absolutely. The engines are isolated from each other, so, you can run both in parallel or remove/uninstall components if you need.
Hope this helps!

A:
That should be safe.
What we have had problems with is: if we install SQL Express first, then the management console will not install, when you install SQL Server.

A:
I had kitten parts splattered everywhere when I tried to do exactly what you are asking about. So I burned it all down and reinstalled, installing SQL Server 2008 first, and then making sure to de-select the database components in the Visual Studio installations.
So far so good, but my SQL Server installation is used sparingly.

I'm sure you had the kitten parts, but I uninstalled SQL 2005 and then installed 2008 and so far, all kittens are safe and sound.
