A. No. A Dual-classed character will get the Quest for the class he is currently active in. I.E. a Fighter-gone-Mage will get the Planar Sphere. Not Nalia's Keep. Multi classed charactors such as Fighter/Mages will get whichever Quest he addresses first. If he does Nalia's Keep and accepts it first, he will not inherit the Planar Sphere.Though only mages are supposed to be able to do it, any PC can with a little cheese.

Actually if you play it right you can get two strongholds as a fighter/thief or fighter/mage. The trick is to do Nalia's Keep first and when done don't accept her offer to become the new lord of the keep. If you chose the correct dialog and don't turn her down outright Nalia will tell you she will wait for your decision. Now go and do the Mae'var thief guild quest or the Planar Sphere quest depending on your dual/multi alignment and complete it. Once you are the new master of the Planar Sphere or Thieves Guild you can go back to Nalia (standing in front of her drawbridge) and tell her you accept her offer. You now have two strongholds without resorting to a mod. Also these are among the best strongholds to have in the game for gold or other benefits.
