Answer 1

How to make sure the hash code stays the same all through the object lifetime. (MSDN Property #2) Especially when the equality is based upon mutable fields. (MSDN Property #1)

You seem to misunderstand Property #2. The hashcode doesn't need to stay the same thoughout the objects lifetime. It just needs to stay the same as long as the values that determine the outcome of the equals method are not changed. So logically, you base the hashcode on those values only. Then there shouldn't be a problem.
