Yes. You don't need the -first- option, btw.

You could, but probably don't want to try all the combinations, for the
same reason that you wouldn't try all the specifications with/without
various regressors. Bad practice.

Not sure what the problem is. Whatever you put in -orthog()- is what
-xtivreg2- will treat as endogenous in the comparator regression.
If you want to be sure, run two regressions, one with the variable as
endogenous and one with it as exogenous, and do a difference-in-Sargan (or
difference-in-J) by hand. The results should be very close to C-stat
generated by -orthog()-. (See Hayashi 2000 or Baum-Schaffer-Stillman 2003
for why it isn't exactly the same.)
Cheers,
Mark
