Timer and wait()
Both the timer and the wait() features use timer3 to implement their functionality. Does this prevent the use of wait() while a timer is running (having called timer.start())? Does the wait() function stop and reset timer3 thus losing the value for my timer?
Also can you have multiple timer instances running at the same time?

No, no and yes.
You can use wait and timers and tickers at the same time. There is no limit on the number of timers and tickers besides the common sense limits (as in, don't make 1000 tickers which each fire 1000 times per second and wonder why your MCU locks up ;) ).
