Re: swap space on hdd

AFAIK, both answers: yes.

You can use same swap for all your installations.

You can use both logical and primary partition for swap (provided, setup let you do it).

You can share swap partitions (logical ones if you like), but be aware of limitations on hibernation.  You probably don't use hibernate, but just in case.  Even the live CD (USB!) will use a swap partition if it finds one
