If the router and switch both support LAGG then yes you can.
It goes modem - router - switch - devices. Any port on the switch will work.

Ideally you need to wire the mesh together over ethernet. Especially on a 1G plan. Wireless alone might be ok through the floor but YMMV.
ONT traffic is shared with you and the neighbours but it's encrypted in transit. The OLT won't be having any of your shenanigans unless it's provioned at the ISP side. ( Very unlikely )
Login to the router and have a look for any settings backup option. If you find it download the file. Buy the same router and upload the file.
Or cut n paste the SSID and PW across to the new router.
For the sake of convenience and troubleshooting go all in on one brand. Mix and match might save you cash now but waste time in the future.
Omada is well priced and solid hardware. As others have mentioned the ER605 might cap out. The ER7206 might work better in the long term.
So you could backhaul them together and save space on the 5G band for the devices or if cable isn't possible then a Tri band mesh will do the trick.
I think a previous openreach enginner has disconnected all the extensions when that face plate was put on.
It's quite common and reduces all the interference that screws with the broadband. Be warded if you move the router you will be in for a speed drop. Ideally you leave the router at the master socket and run ethernet to the PS.
