Yes. Running a Tor node on an IP address you share with your domestic
usage can result in you being unable to reach sites which blacklist Tor
nodes. This sometimes only happens with exit nodes, but some site
operators are even more draconian than others and just block all Tor
IPs. This can be particularly unfortunate if the site in question is
your bank.

No. Tor relay IP addresses have to be visible to be reachable.
