Answer 1

You have to rasterize the SVG file to a bitmap and then you can superpose it to the original image using PIL, as it does not support vector images.

I did some research some time ago, and the only library I found which supports this under python is cairo (again, maybe the landscape about SVG rasterizing tools changed in the last months).

The other way around (I don't think this meets your requirements) is to apply your original bitmap image as a background to the SVG one, but this sounds soooo creepy... ;-)
