Yes, it's possible to have both of them. It's best to talk to a mental health professional though to find out for sure if you really have both. Self-diagnosis is not very reliable.

yes. schizoid personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of detatchment from social relationships. avoidant characteristics are an inate feature of the schizoid disorder.

Yes it is very possible but sometimes very unlikely. Talk to your psychologist/psychiatrist.
