Yes, it would be the fully qualified address (starting at the context
where Pegasus is installed).  For example, if Pegasus is
configured/installed in the faculty.cba OU, then you could email the
people at:
     brian.research@......   and 
     brian.management@......

With Mercury 1.30 and above, you can specify a "Synonym" for each
user.  This is done via the Foreign Email Address tab in NWAdmin.  You
specify a SMTP address for each user.  The advantage of synonyms over
aliases is that pegaus/mercury will preserve the synonyms.  Let's say
you make Brian the Researcher's synonym brianp@......  When he sends a
Internet message, mercury automatically changes the From address from
brian.research@.... to brianp@.....    Even with synonyms specified,
people can still send mail to brianp via the address
brian.research@.....

You don't need MHS on the new server.  Mercury and Pegasus work
wonderfully without it.
