Couple of minor corrections:
1) yes you can use a mix of static and dynamic IPs, but you may occasionally experience trouble after a static machine has been turned off for a long period. The static IP may be leased by the dhcp server, and when you turn the static machine back on there will be a collision, and the other machine will be forced to obtain a new lease. This is seldom done cleanly.
No.
Even a cheap home routers have a range of IPs that are given out by the dhcp server, and the rest that is not, so that you can use those as fixed IPs. There can not be those collisions you mention if you just find out what the proper range for fixed IPs is. And it is usually trivial to change the range in the control web page of the router.
