Can the two be connected via Ethernet to use a wired backhaul?

There are many contradicting comments here. Probably Amazon updated the product listing after some of the comments were added. My answer (valid as of September 2022) is that you CAN do a wired backhaul ONLY if you purchase the 2-PACK of Nest Wi-Fi ROUTERS. However, if you are buying a 2-PACK of Nest Wi-FI ROUTER + POINT, then you CAN NOT do a wired backhaul since the POINTS do not have an ethernet port. The same applies to 3-PACK of Nest Wi-Fi ROUTER + 2 POINTS, you CAN NOT do a wired backhaul. I hope this clears things up. So if you want to do a WIRED backhaul, buy the 2-PACK Nest Wi-FI ROUTERS. If not, The ROUTER + POINTS bundle is really good for most homes.

Can I eliminate my present router that I rent from my carrier, Verizon?

Yes. You can replace your current router with Nest Wifi router. But if you have a modem/router combo, you can't. Because you need a modem with a functional Wi-Fi network to connect your Nest Wifi router to. If that is the case, you can put your combo in Bridge mode or disable its Wi-Fi functionality, so that you can connect your Nest Wifi devices together to create a mesh network and avoid a Double NAT. You can find out more about Bridge mode and Double NAT here: https://support.google.com/wifi/answer/6240987?hl=en

Can I add these to my current Google Mesh network or are they incompatible with each other?

Absolutely. Nest Wifi is compatible with existing Google Wifi systems. You can easily add a Nest Wifi point or use your existing Google Wifi system to extend coverage in your home.

Can this be the primary router and also have the google mesh points attached to the network for additional coverage?

Yes. Definitely. I did precisely what you are asking. I had a three piece Google WiFi system, but was not happy with how close I would have had to keep each one together for decent performance. Where I had them, I was getting about half the data transfer rate I was expecting So, I replaced the one that was connected to my modem with the more powerful Nest router. The difference was amazing. I got an increase of about 50% in the throughput measured at each of the three Google WiFi nodes with two of them in the same location as before. Then, I put the one that was formerly attached to my cable modem in a new location to cover even more of the house. If you want to get really crazy, build your entire mesh with nothing but Nest routers. You give up the microphones and speakers of the less expensive Nest points (which I didn't want anyway), but gain more coverage and better performance. When I did that, my performance nearly doubled over what it was with the Google Wifi system I started with.
