It seems likely that many adult wizards (eg Snape) can cast both. Can't remember if this is the case in canon or not.
This is true in canon. I would see no problem even in HPMOR with wizards casting Patroni and AKs. It's only with Patronus 2.0 that there might be some incompatibility.
It seems vaguely possible that Harry's Dark Side compartementalization might allow him to cast both AK and True Patronus.
Yes, that was my point, it's the True Patronus charm that is the exact opposite of AK, the Patronus Charm 1.0 is really a Dumbledore spell. It avoids fear of death by thinking about something else.
