Could I still power a Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W via the VSYS pin with the Pico Display Pack 2.8" connected? If so, how?

This is one way to do it. Depending on how your connecting to the pins?

3

I want to solder a AA battery holder to the Pico, while having the Display Pack.

Should be doable. Here is the Display Pack Pinout.

I meant this one: Pico Display Pack 2.8"

As far as I know, it’s the same pinout except for the RGB LED. The RGB LED is hooked up to (26, 27 and 28) so you may need to adjust for this in your code.
There is a link to the schematic to double check what pins are used for what.
