Wrong on both counts.  Both characters have to be together (ie, in the
same province) for both orders.  There is, however, no prohibition on
their travelling in the interim, which is what was originally asked.

Yes.  However, if B didn't previously issue a 'learn' order, the two
characters will still have to rendezvous (at the end of this turn or
later) for that order.

No, when a learn or teach order is processed, part of the processing is
to verify whether the target character is in the same province at that
time.
