All but impossible to prevent totally but, with a little care, it can be minimized to the point that it becomes inconsequential.

No. Torque the nuts properly and loosening will not be a problem.

It is best not to mix-and-match materials, but, in The Real World, it doesn't make much difference for this application. Clean the threads well and, if using dissimilar metals, use a little anti-seize. Torque 'em down and you're good to go.
