Regarding 1:
Sharing is a bad idea, since they would then share the same Python environment, which would cause issues.
Copying should work (delete __pycache__ folders), assuming both versions support these addon and you delete the Vapoursynth folder before copying.
Regarding 2:
Hybrid itself does not care about the engine files. Only vs-mlrt and torch do.
Different add-on versions will need different engine files. So if you have different version, you should use different engine folders.
I suspect that if you use the same add-on version, you can use the same engine files. (Not sure, test it, if you want to know for sure. I suspect it might work as long as not both versions use the same engine file,..)
About your DPIR and ScuNet crashes: try deleting existing engine files.
vs-mlrt does not always properly detect older/newer engine files.
In general I would recommend to keep everything separated between multiple portable versions.
