what do you mean sold out. They merged in 2002!
2 :
They will all be compatible anyway. Theres nothing special about these brands. They all just buy the same components put them in a pretty box and write their name on it. As they dont actually make the computer parts like the motherboard themselves they all have to be compatible with each other so anyone can use them to make a computer.

HP and Compaq have merged. Accessories with standard connectors are always compatible, such as USB, PS2, et cetera. Accessories with custom HP or Compaq connectors will most likely not be compatible, such as power supplies.

Yes, the two companies merged back in 2001 http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2001/010904a.html As for the 2nd part of your question, it would depend on the specific accessory, the version of the accessory, the operating system, driver availability, etc.
