No. All subnets on all interfaces need to be distinct,
non-overlapping...

Not quite either. If the routers LAN side IP address is 192.168.1.1,
then the Smoothwall's RED IP address need to of course different,
though within the same subnet. Assuming the subnet mask used by the
router is a /24 (255.255.255.0), this means you can use any IP address
in teh range 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254, with 192.168.1.1 being the
gateway for Smoothwall's RED interface...

Of course!
The better option would be to put the modem/router into bridge mode
and thereby to eliminate the double NAT setup...
Btw., you will get faster and easier answers when you visit
