Answer 1

As per the microsoft website: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/licensing/concurrent-jobs?view=azure-devops&tabs=self-hosted

For self-hosted parallel jobs, you can register any number of self-hosted agents in your organization. We charge based on the number of jobs you want to run at a time, not the number of agents registered.

This means that, in a job, we can add as many self-hosted agents, from the deployment group and all the agents in a job, will run in parallel, without any additional costs.
