Hi Alex - it makes sense to answer your questions in reverse order.
Regarding whether your eyepieces will work - well this depends on which eyepiece you're talking about. The critical thing is that to prevent vignetting, the eyepiece's field stop should be smaller than the clear aperture of the binoviewer. The 18 mm UWA should be ok when used with a Denk, Denk II or Televue binoviewer but the larger ones have 2" barrels and the only option is a Siebert.
Fwiw, I've used a R2 (Power Switch diagonal), Denk II and 24 mm Panoptics on my LX200/12. This combination really works well on the moon and planets. IMO, the minimum magnification is too high for deep sky observing but the S1 diagonal would help matters quite a bit.
