Yes, to both.
I see the sitemaps are being created.
The contents of my .htaccess of my forum DIR is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.php
RewriteRule (^[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]*$) member.php?&username=$1
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

I do have a .htaccess active at site root.

Here is it's content:
RewriteEngine on
RedirectMatch permanent ^/index.html$ http://www.mysite.com/index.php
RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ /index.php
RewriteRule local_links/links/(.+)/(.+) local_links.php?catid=$1&linkid=$2 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/links/(.+) local_links.php?catid=$1 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/jump/(.+)/(.+) local_links.php?action=jump&id=$1&catid=$2 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/jump/(.+) local_links.php?action=jump&id=$1 [R]
