Yes. If both wild card teams win the wild card and divisional round, then then number 5 seed will host the number 6 seed in the championship round. In that case, a wild card team will host a playoff game. This has never occured in NFL history due to the fact that many situations must coincide for it to happen.

Can't, impossible. Only the top two teams in the Conference with the best record can get a first round bye. This means that only teams who win their divisions can achieve this bye.

The scenario you describe has two playoff spots open .... the NL East title and the wild card. In this case, the Phillies and the Mets would play a one game playoff.
