IIRC the Fetch is an "awakened" part of the shaman, rather than coming fom outside, so I'd guess generally not (at least at inception). However Heroquesting is always a way of gaining unususal abilities so I wouldn't rule it out completely

I can't imagine a situation where they wouldn't be. (Both because a fetch is effectively a sidekick, because the Fetch and the shaman are two aspects of the same being, and because in "the other game" Shaman and their fetches could cast each others magic...

I think this is one of those "the answer to any either/or questions is Yes" situations - It's possible that both answers are correct - rather like light being both a wave and a particle, the Heroquestor is physically present in the otherworld and their bodies are left behind (true for both Animist and Theist quests...)
