Yes and yes. As an alternative, you could get something like this 8GB kit (4x2) and replace both modules, giving you a matched pair.

Yes and yes.

Will two different ram manufacturers work?

The brand makes no difference, as long as the specs are correct. There is a slight performance benefit in using matched pairs of RAM. If you don't need more than 8GB, you would get slightly better performance with the matched pair than with the 2GB and 8GB modules.

As I already stated, yes, it will work and it doesn't matter if the brands are different, as long as the specs match.
