Extra Credit Question: Will this 8-speed XTR HG cassette bolt directly onto a Dura Ace 7900 10-speed hub?

No it will not work. 8 speed DA rear derailleurs have a different actuation ratio from 8 speed anything else. There may be a way to make it work (alternate cable routing, shiftmate, etc) but they won't play well together without some fudging. Cassette will work fine on that hub though.
