… will the Dante card carry standard network data (i.e. can the Ethernet cable carrying the Dante link also provide connectivity for Editor on that computer to the mixrack?)?

YES, that’s one of the things that are cool about it Check out the Dante website:
“Dante runs on inexpensive off-the-shelf computer networking hardware, and does not require dedicated network infrastructure. Ethernet switches transmit Dante digital media streams alongside ordinary data traffic, so you can integrate professional media operations into properly designed pre-existing networks…”

Dante uses IP standards, not just the ethernet hardware protocol. If you’d like to know more about the architecture of data networks, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

If you have some software to send the input from one sound card to an output on another sound card, I think this could work. However I would check for latency problem within the laptop.

Furthermore, I don’t know if I would trust my laptop to be such a central part of a live show… loosing a recording is not nice at all, but loosing your amps during a live show… feel free to test this and let us know
