Q: 1. Would you have success mounting a lightweight dslr to this for high-up overhead video and remote recording?

A: Yes! Have done it with an BMPC 4k camera. But balance the rig with counterweight and let it settle down 20-30 sec after you have pushed rec to make sure it does not move. Love these stands. Not as sturdy as C stands but much lighter.

Q: 2. I'm recording martial arts instruction. At times the instructor is standing and at other times laying on the floor. It is very dynamic so it can shift quite quickly. Would you suggest using this boom stand with an NTG3?My fear is that it would sound good when the instructor is standing, but when they lay down, I lose significant volume. Any suggestions?

A: You will definitely lose sound quality when the instructor gets low. First option would be a wireless mic xmitter strapped to the instructor with the mic taped securely to his clothing. Next option would be a boom operator to move with the instructor. If none of those options are available can you shoot the instructor in sequences and reposition the mic for each shot?
