I am thinking of analogy of two water buckets, another one larger (mAh) than the other, but both have the same water level (voltage) and the level is at the same height (voltage). Both have same diameter (resistance) tube underneath going to the Y-connector and then the connecting tube is leaking water (current) out to somewhere.

I think, the buckets will be empty at the same time, and still no water is going from the larger bucket to the smaller one. (or there is an error in my thinking?)
Yes, you are right. But real life might be of another opinion
As long as the difference in capacity is not too high and their voltage is similar at the moment when you connect them, things should be fine. Of course both should have a similar internal resistance so that there won't be any voltage drop in one of them when the N900 draws power.
Looking forward to dr_frost_dk's results
