Absolutely!  The fluid is pumped into the TC, and from there circulates
through the rest of the tranny before draining into the pan.

Yes.  The normal service interval (whatever that is) is supposed
to take this dilution of new/old into account.  Unless something
is wrong and the fluid is being ruined early.
