Can you just use vim scripts and plugins with emacs' evil mode? what are evil mode's limitations?

Question

What the title says. Thinking about starting to use emacs, have some experience in vim now and a decent setup with vim plugins

Answer 1

No, evil is still based around Emacs Lisp. There is no attempt to implement a vimscript interpreter, and evil doesn't turn Emacs into vim -- it's still Emacs... just an Emacs with lots of vim features.
