No, it's 50/100.
50% for the weapon that hit.
100% for the weapon that kill.
But you need to do a minimum damage (15% health, I think, 15% or 20%) to register. You can deal 20% with one weapon and end the enemy with the other, it's the fastest way to level up but you kinda need to work more to do it.

No, only 100% because the build is tied to the character, not the weapon. You can wield two of the same type of weapon, but once you build one, the second one will copy the build. The same way, the mastery isn't about the weapon you are using, but the type of weapon, so using, for example, two longswords hitting an enemy for 20% health and then killing with the other longsword will give you only 100% of XP because it's longswork mastery.

So you shoot an enemy with the musket for at least 20% of its HP as it runs to you then finish it off with a sword for the remaining 80% of HP.

Sword gets 100% of the weapon XP for landing the killing blow.
Musket gets only 50% because it removed at least 15% of the enemies total HP.

So reverse this and you do 80% of the HP with a sword then pull out your musket and bash it for the last 20% of HP.

Musket gets 100% of weapon XP for landing the killing blow
Sword gets 50% for dealing over 15% of the HP.

So in short no you would't get 150% weapon XP. It'll treat the two swords as the same weapon type thus they would both count the same.

Yes, because the weapon mastery is attach to the character, not the weapon, the same way as builds are.
