VN - Vietnam Airlines - baggage through check-in on separate tickets

Hi all,
I’m about to book two domestic flights on Vietnam Airlines on two separate tickets/PNRs: DAD-SGN / SGN-PQC. (Da Nang - Ho Chi Minh City - Phu Quoc Island)
My questions are:
  1. Will they checkin my baggage in DAD through to the final destination?
  2. If yes, would I have to re-clear the security at SGN or when arriving from a domestic flight will we disembark to the transit area (as in the US or EU)?
  3. in case of delay of the first flight will they rebook my second leg for free or I will need to buy a new ticket for the final destination?
  4. What would be the minimum connection time on such joint itinerary that you would call safe to catch the second flight? I have several options with connections as short as 70 minutes up to 2h40minutes. However I’d prefer not to spend almost 3 hours in the sgn terminal.
Both flight marketed and operated by VN, I have no elite status with ST.
