So I just got a shiny brand new PS4 and it's all exciting. And my PS3 will likely still be around, but it may get relegated to the second room, which means I'd love to be able to use my PS4 for Netflix and the like. Will my PS3 remote work on my PS4?

Controllers plugged in via USB are always #1 after the start. It not only annoying with you remote receiver but also with several arcade fight sticks.
Audio-wise, you are in luck, since you wish to use two different connectors and the PS3 can be instructed to output audio through several connectors. Simply connect both sound systems to the PS3 at the same time and turn on Audio multi-output and you should be good to go.
Video is another matter, since you only have 1 HDMI connector on the PS3. The only option I see here is to use an HDMI splitter. Be aware that a proper HDMI splitter usually requires additional power to work properly. It should be a box that comes with an additional power supply, like this:
And not a simple cable that splits in two, as these typically do not work (and technically, I'm not entirely sure they can work. I've never seen one with positive user reviews):

No, you can not because they are for different consoles.
