Answer 1

Yes, it is perfectly fine to call React.render multiple times on the same page. Just as you've suggested, the React library itself is only loaded once, but each call to React.render will create a new component instance independent of any others. (In fact, such a situation is not uncommon on sites that are in the process of transitioning to React, where some portions of the page are generated using React.render and others are not.)
