and to your fist question: ofc more radiation combines with the innate radiation. what that text meant is, you can use single elements(Heat, Cold, Toxin, Electric) in addition to the innate combined element and they will stay separate.

for example Radiation consists of Heat and Electricity, if you put a Heat mod on a weapon with innate Radiation damage, you will have X Radiation damage and Y Heat damage on it (they don't merge). if you put a Heat mod on an innate physical damage weapon that already has Radiation modded onto it, you will get (X+Y) Radiation + it's IPS damage (the elements merge).

proccing status just means the "special ability" of your weapon's damage type is used (like Confusion from Radiation damage, lowering armor from Corrosive damage or burning/panic from Heat damage). it has nothing to do with the weapon's ability to do damage, it's always on top of that.
