Questions about slotting actives on the hotbar

I know that slotting a skill line's active on the hotbar contributes to leveling progress for that skill line. If you slot multiple actives from the same skill line, will that progress stack, or not? What about having an active slotted, and also "actively" using that skill, such as the weapon lines. Will they each independently progress the skill line, allowing for stacking of progress? These are two separate instances, since you can have the active slotted and not use it or the weapon, and you can also use the weapon without having an active slotted.
Here's a more obscure one for the classes lines, a bit different from the weapons lines. You must have an active slotted in order to be able to use it. So, do you get progress for having the active slotted and not using it, and then additional progress as well, for actually using the active? That sounds a bit like double-dipping, and I'd expect the answer to be no, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
These questions will help me to manage my slots a bit better for leveling the skill lines.
Thanks in advance...

Acsvf✭✭✭Using an ability does nothing. Experience is given to each of the skills on your hotbar. If you have three siphoning skills on your bar, for example, siphoning will level 3x as fast. Even if you're not using the weapon you can still get exp from slotting weapon abilities. Using a weapon itself will level the skill line(dual wielding without any abilities will advance DW).@LightArray

Agree
and @fgoron2000 ,
The weapon slotted and the Ultimate slotted stack as well.
Also:
A good way to control the development of the skill lines better, possible once you are level 15, is to put abilities of your skill lines to level on your second bar, and collect quest bonusses while swapped to your second bar."I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU6 -

thanks very much Acsvf and Hrothbern.
Also, about the collecting quest bonuses, do you mean that when ready to collect on a quest, to make sure to have abilities slotted on the active hotbar, for any skills about to roll to the next level, so as to maximize that progress?
Yes
