Yes, you can mirror to another node(B/D). To route on that node(B/D),
your dst MAC address has to be correct for that destination node(B/D) to
accept it. You could try to run  the destination node in promisc mode
and you may be able to get away without changing dst mac.

Assuming you are talking about B/D, yes you can do routing there if the
node accepts it..

Ok, so this was the trick question;->
I dont see how the loop would happen - they are different "match" rules
i.e one is for 192.168.2.0/24 and the other is for 192.168.1.0/24
Whether it loops or not is easy for you to verify.
