Answer 1

There's a django add-on to get inlines in cases like this where the relationship is the opposite of the usual: django_reverse_admin

You'll need to add django_reverse_admin to your requirements.txt:

-e git+https://github.com/anziem/django_reverse_admin.git#egg=django_reverse_admin

Then import it:

admin.py

from django_reverse_admin import ReverseModelAdmin

class UserProfileAdmin(ReverseModelAdmin):
    inline_reverse = ['user', 'contact']
    inline_type = 'tabular'  # or could be 'stacked'

admin.site.register(UserProfile, UserProfileAdmin)

Answer 2

Yes, you can do that using the inline admin system.

class UserAdmin(admin.StackedInline):
    model = User
class ContactAdmin(admin.StackedInline):
    model = Contact

class UserProfileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [ UserAdmin, ContactAdmin ]
