Well, without knowing all I can give is a guess. Generally speaking, you should NOT mix memory. Both sticks should be the same, which is why they sell memory in kits.
If you do mix them, the best you can hope for is that both will run at the lower speed. I would not be surprised to see memory problems and crashes.
No, you cannot assume that works on one manufacturer's board will work on another manufacturer's board.
For the MSI board, you should check with MSI. Typically, they have this inforation on their web support page for their other boards.

Look on the board for the model number or AA number.
