Hi Realini, that's not so easy to say, I myself bought a wrong dock about 2 months ago. Could you specify the model of your notebook, that would be extremely helpful to say if the dock would fit for you.

For me, both charging ports must be plugged in. It works with the cable supplied, otherwise I have found that the laptop has no mains power.
Yes, that shouldn't be a problem, it can run on Thunderbolt and it will also run on an HP notebook with a Thunderbolt port without any problems.
That should work. The ThinkPad Workstation Dock Gen 2 supplies 230 W as required by the Legion 7. It uses a split cable with power connector and USB-C connector. Compare the 6 of 8 pictures at Digitec for the ThinkPad Workstation Dock Gen 2. Therefore, the two connections should be as close to each other as possible on the Legion 7. The two cable ends click together with a magnet. Ideally, the connections on the Legion 7 should be exactly as far apart as the clicked ends. I have a ThinkPad P53, where this fits exactly. The cable routing is separate, so the power connector and USB-C connector could also be on different sides of the Legion 7, which would then be a little less elegant.
The USB-C port has worked with all the devices we have used so far (ThinkPad P53, T570, T490s, HP EliteBook840 G6, Apple MacBook Pro 13). If a device requires more than 65 W, the standard power supply for that device must also be used.

MacBooks generally do not work on docks that are not explicitly certified for this purpose. It was no different here when I last tested it with a MacBook Pro (2017) about a year ago. I think it is unlikely that the driver support or macOS has changed enough in the meantime to make it work, and would therefore go for one of the Mac-certified docks.

According to this page (under hardware compatibility), the Yoga 3rd gen should work with the docking station.
I consulted this page for my Extreme gen2.

No, rather not - this is a USB-C dock - an X1 Carbon 2nd Gen should not have had USB-C ... always the safest source for compatibility at LENOVO: Search Options Compatibility Matrix and download! OCM!
I can also plug my LG V30 phone into the dock and everything works.
So I assume that the HP also works.
Maybe you need to connect the power supply to the docking station differently so that the charging function via USB C works.

Hello,
We use our X1 Extreme with these docking units. Thanks to the dual power supply 135W / 75W.
For the 2nd question, I don't know but I think so.
