I travel with my laptop between two unrelated Windows domains. Is it possible
to belong to both domains simultaneously, logging into one or the other at
need? If so, how:?

If I can't join a domain without disjoining the other domain, is it possible
to access the assets of one domain (as though I was a member) while I'm
logged in as a member of the other domain or logged into my local account? If
so, how? RunAs?

One domain at a time natively. Some third party software might get you
around this.

However - you do not need (usually) to be a member of a domain (your
computer does not) as long as you know a valid username/password for the
domain in question - in order to use most domain resources (shares, etc.)

Just have to know the resources you want and how to map them using your
credentials.
