I don't think so. There are for sure contractual clauses in place to avoid that. (As Fred Vasseur mentioned). And as engineers change teams every now and then it would be an open secret if IP is transferred.
Within the budget cap, such cooperation is maximally profitable that would have more money for development than the competitors, actually because of this Ferrari created aero department for Haas at the base in Maranello. And it involves high level engineers who are not so subject to turnover. I would be maximally surprised if it turned out that Ferrari and especially RB having such an opportunity do not use it. I don't know exactly what kind of co-op, but it should definitely exist
Yes, and in formula 1 a lot of things are not allowed, but teams constantly or violate that fia does not know or bypassed by engineering.
