I think the answer is "yes," but no one wants to post it because there
are many ways this could fail to work, depending on conditions that
are not specified in the question.

Just don't let your IT department catch you sucking up all their
bandwidth. It makes them all twitchy.

Not with the same wireless adapter.  The 802.11 specification
describes 2 modes of operation: infrastructure (talking to an access
point) and ad-hoc (peer-to-peer).  The 802.11 MAC behaves differently
in each mode.  The same wireless adapter cannot run infrastructure and
ad-hoc modes simultaneously.
