Is it okay to do it, with a little dog food mixed in.

Yes, it's perfectly fine but don't give him a huge amount of rice because too much carbohydrate turns into sugar and that can be bad in the long run.
We always feed rice and chicken to our dog and he loves it. Make sure it's cooked thoroughly and mix it with some kind of meat or dog food if you'd like. Boiled rice, to the point that it's very soft like porridge is also good for a dog that's not feeling well.

Yes, it is okay as long as you are not replacing the dog food with the rice as it does not offer all the nutrients the dog needs. When dogs are sick some vets actually recommend feeding your dog rice and hamburger.

I only feed white rice when my dog is having stomach drama. I wouldn't feed it regularly to a dog, as rice is not what a dog needs to stay healthy.

Yes it is o.k. to feed white rice to your dog. Many vets suggest white rice and hamburger(No Grease, Rinse in water) when your dog is having digestive problems

Of course you can, there are a bunch of homemade dog food recipes that include rice, its even in some commercial dog food. Only foods that you shouldn't give your dogs are chocolate, grapes, avacadoes, and something else(i cant remember). Everything else is fine.

Unless your dog is having a tummy issue, there's no need to.
But, to directly answer your question, yes, a dog can be fed white rice. But, it's not really needed unless it's for a specific purpose.

You can, but why would you? Rice and cottage cheese is fed to dogs in need of a bland diet for a short period of time, but doesn't contain much nutrition.

Absolutely - in fact, rice is one of the things vets recommend if your dog has digestion problems.

Yes, but I wouldn't feed to much. Boil it, just make sure not to add anything else than water.

Of course but you should not feed the dog if it is off your plate.
