Yes you leave the regular filter in place. Might want to change it every few years or so.. As long as the bypass filter has not reached capacity, then there will be very little in the way of contaminants that the full flow (regular) filter would be loaded up with.

Yes they make a filter for the transmission as well. Filters are really only on cars since around 1955, and before that it was an add on accessory. Why don't they make cars now with bypass filters?? Would you buy a new car if your 14 year old car's engine was in tip top shape? What about rebuilds and parts? They (automotive) would be cutting their own throats.
