resultant
This is just called the "sum". Sometimes also the "resultant vector".
No, the sum of two vectors cannot be a scalar.
Two or more vectors combine to form a resultant sum; V1 + V2 + ...+ Vn = VR
Not really. The sum of the magnitudes is a scalar, not a vector - so they can't be equal. But the sum of the two vectors can have the same magnitude, if both vectors point in the same direction.
