And will God sit on one shoulder and give you good advice, while Satan sits on the other shoulder and tempts you?

No, but what you are asking is a very good question that definately deserves an answer. A person cannot be saved and unsaved at the same time, you are either one or the other. When you become saved, you don't stop being human, you just decide to let God take charge over your life. We make mistakes but that is why we have God in our lives to help us to get to the destiny that is in store for us in the end.

If you are asking if a Christian can be demonized, yes, they can. Were you aware that in the early church new converts were regularly excorcised? The Orthodox Church does something sort of like this for its new converts to this day (though having seen it is seems more like lip service, in my opinion).
I don't think that Christians, or anyone, really, are really 'possessed' by satan. People can be partially or even almost fully controlled by demons but the idea of actual possession came from a mistranslation in the KJV of the Bible --- the word in the original language would be better translated demonization as it literally means for a demon to ride and control a man the way a man would a horse. So, yes, to answer your question, people who are owned by the LORD can still be plagued with demons.

God does not posses people. People accept Jesus as savior and the Holy Spirit resides in that person. The Holy Spirit does not direct people what to do but is there as a guide for those who believe. Possession by satan or his minions happens when sin is in your life unchecked and they see opportunity to take over what you do.
No you can't be both in the Spirit and Possessed.

No. The Devil can't be where God is, that's why he's in Hell and God is in Heaven.

No, it is not possible. You cannot serve two masters and that would be an example of it. God would not allow it.
