I haven't done it, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

Yep, but they have to be connected to the same network. They do this through WDS and it's really quite easy to set up.

Using WDS will ensure the base stations are on the same network. Basically this means that you will have one larger network rather than two smaller and unrelated networks. This will definitely allow you to use AirTunes from one AirPort and the internet form another. I have the same set up except with two Expresses instead of an Express and an Extreme.
