No, during processing, if there is an error (due to the control being processed or otherwise), processing stops, and the searchResultDone is returned with (some) error code.

If the server returns all unsorted entries successfully, it is because the server does not support the vlv and sss controls, and they are not marked critical. Thus they are ignored and the search is processed as if it never had the controls. There is no sss or vlv response code in this case because the server doesn't recognise them.

Yes.
