Yes , it's not a problem at all, there are two types of repeaters : Bandwidth repeater and frequency repeater , What actually you are asking is if one vendor can repeat a frequency signal that is generated from other vendor , of course he can because the frequency transmission process is standard and the range is also standard for example2.4GHz , and in case there is a WEP encrpyion "WEP password" , you have to set the same password on the repeater to make able repeate the signal for you.

Yest you can connect it, and some of the device was not supported, hence before you going to purchase the device, kindly ensure the connectivity support options.

A problem with most repeaters (or access points that can be configured as repeaters) is that they aren’t supported across all wireless LAN vendors. The 802.11 standard wasn’t written with repeaters in mind. As a result, the best approach is to implement a repeater using the same vendor as your existing access points.
