5 year experience on music and teach.. I have performed on many platforms before...

Yes you will be able to play an electric guitar if you learn on an acoustic. The theory is the same but there will be a period of adjustment in style and technique. The Electric guitar is thinner in body and neck, the strings are softer and the tonal variety is infinite.

Yes you can definitely do that. There is no limitation on what guitar you can play just because you learnt a certain type of guitar. Also, you can combine more than one type of guitar in your compositions or covers which would make them more interesting.
