2. If the remake starts at a latter part of the story or strongly compresses a part of the story up to which episode should one watch the first version then?
3. Is it even possible to obtain a consistent story by mixing original and remake?

The new episode is an anime-original designed to attract viewers with action, but:
1a. From little things that were uttered in this episode, I'd say yes for the most part.
1b. Indications of the preview in this episode show that nothing of the sort seems to be the case.
2. It cuts all ties to the original, and is telling the entire story all over again, but this time following the source material.
3. No, for this show's case.
