If you want to develop in two layers, you'll need two development environments. One for CUS-layer development and another for USR-layer development, where you'll deploy a new CUS version from time to time and resolve conflicts. Avoid it if you can, because it means quite a lot of extra work.

If you want just a one-time fix in CUS layer while you have changes in USR, do the following: Log into USR, export changes and delete the object. Log into CUS and make change there. Log into USR again, import the .xpo and then apply changes you did in CUS layer. It's clearly not something you should do on regular basis.

Yes, of course. An AOT object can have modifications on all layers.

However when you modify the object, the changes will be saved on the highest customization layer. So if the form already has changes in USR layer, your new changes will be saved in USR layer, even if you login to CUS layer when you start development.

I'm not sure (but you can find out in 5 minutes, please test and let us know) if a field in USR layer would force your new code to USR layer as well. Or if it works in a more granular way.
