Can you lay carpet on laminate flooring?
yes you can it makes no difference {edit:} IF you are gluing the carpet to the laminate. But if you plan to install tack strip and stretch the carpet, you risk the tension of the carpet pulling up laminate boards at the edges.

Can you install laminate over rough slate?
I would definitely recommend against this. While laminate can be installed on top of tile, it requires that the floor is level and even. So, if your slate is rough and uneven, it is not a good subfloor to install any hard surface. If you install the laminate directly on top of an uneven floor like this, it will most likely crack and move a lot when you are walking on it. However, an alternative (albeit an expensive one), is to add self leveling cement on top of the slate and level out the floor, and then you could install the laminate on top. This might be less expensive and less difficult vs. trying to remove the slate, but it is not a cheap option.

Can you lay carpet over an existing laminate floor so you can go back to the laminate later?
In order to lay carpet, tack strips are nailed all the way around the area to be carpeted. When you pull off that tack strip you will have a nice mess of holes that won't look good and will be hard to fix. Better to get large area rugs.
