Yes, this would be possible. Remember to use a cat5e SHIELDED ethercon cable with both ends connected to the ethercon-shield, to prevent problems.

I believe you want to lift one end of the ground "drain" wire on the cat5e or cat6 cable.

Only if you like your PA to make a popping sound and mute audio while the 2 consoles/stage boxes re-sync.

Ground continuity from EtherCon shell to Ethercon shell is essential.

We have at least 2 hours of reading pleasure on the subject here at PSW if you do a search, and probably 500 posts on the how/why/necessity of shielded CAT5e/EtherCon over at Soundforums dot net.
