Answer 1

Yes it is possible but generally not recommended. It will be much easier if smaller CSV's are used. Nevertheless you can make following changes for doing it through CSV data set config: -

1. Configure "Recycle on EOF" to False.
2. Configure "Stop thread on EOF" to False.
3. Sharing mode to "All threads".
4. Place HTTP requests in different thread group and set total number of threads to desired value. In your case the value for 1st and 2nd thread group should be 50. Also make sure that two thread groups does not start at same time. Add a startup delay for 2nd thread group.
