Confusion

I have a couple of interlinked questions for gurus out there.
When a 2 or 3 star alignment is completed on my HEQ5, and the error is
shown as just a few seconds for both axes, does that mean that the polar
alignment is also very good? or just that the mount knows where it is pointing?
If a polar alignment and a star alignment are needed, which should be done first?
Whichever is done second, wouldn't the adjustments stuff up the one
done first?
If one did a drift align first, how would one access the Go To? then doing
a star align would surely stuff up the drift align adjustments.
