Powerpath and HBA updates
It doesn’t matter which order the upgrades are done in. The HBA firmware and the PowerPath version aren’t really tied together. Just do them in the same night, especially if while only one is upgraded you aren’t on the support matrix.

Yes you sure can. You can daisychain up to six switches with 100m cable between each one. I wouldn’t go any further than that because routing protocols will start breaking down after that and could possibly shut down your entire network
