Yes.

No.  In this case they do mix okay.

In this case, the system is not supposed to wake up when you press a 
mouse button, because the mouse is disabled for remote wakeup.  
Therefore the system behaves correctly.

Instead of a mouse, consider a USB keyboard.  Keyboards _are_ enabled
for remote wakeup by default.  And suppose the keyboard is plugged into
an external hub, not the root hub.

Then pressing a key on the keyboard _should_ cause the system to wake 
up from S3.  But with some hubs, if you use global suspend then 
pressing a key does not wake up the system.
