BQ35100: VREGIN and I2C

Part Number: BQ35100

Two questions regarding the BQ35100:

BQ35100EVM uses 5.6V zener diode for REGIN supply. Doesn’t that exceed the VREGIN absolute maximum of 5.5VDC?

Can SDA and SCL lines be referenced all the time, even when GE is low?  Or will they draw current? Since they are open drain I think this is ok but wanted to double check.

Thanks,
Mark
