you should not have your server on wifi, this is not to say that its impossible but it causes all manner of chaos and is not what you should do.

And is there a way to monitor power usage of the device HA is running on?
it might be doable via a shell_command sensor or something. probably depends on the device.

I would have no idea. you might have to play with it and see what the kernel sees.

you can only use either ZHA OR Z2M. (well unless you have 2 ZigBee coordinators and 2 separate networks... but I guess you don't have that)

it really depends on what exactly you have done. if you created a new network then no. if you did a migration then they should start appearing as they report in. although you might have to "wake up" battery powered devices for this to happen.

hue stuff is zigbee so if it was working before you set up your zigbee network then they are likely connected to a hue hub somewhere which is running its own zigbee network they are paired with.
if you remove that and pair them directly to a home assistant coordinator then the hue app will no longer work.
or you can keep the hue hub and integrate that with HA.
the devices can only be on 1 ZigBee network at a time.
