SARH specifics

I have some questions about how SARH works. Let's use the S-200 and R-27 as examples but feel free to add others if the way it works has changed since then, or was different before those systems.

I'm not sure if they are using reflected radar for their own system to detect passively or if the site is giving all the intercept information the way anti-tank missiles used to work. (Pre-Javelin)

If they are just depending on an emitter for reflection, can it be any emitter or does it have to be mated to the site that launched? Say one Su-27 launches R-27 but he has to defend against a missile himself -- can his wingman illuminate for the R-27?
