Yes to all your questions. No issues with multiple parallel solar controllers joined at the battery connection, regardless of their individual state at any given time.
Have you considered to connect your 2nd roof panel in series vs. parallel? Pros and cons each way depending on panels electrical specs, like Voc and Isc.
