I think you are mixing VLANs with VPNs here (o;

Yes..switches don't talk to each other usually but can be connected
together without problems...they just forward packets and don't care
about IP addresses (mostly ;o).

Just make sure the source/destination IP addresses are within
same subnet..that's all...

Otherwise I would suggest some TCP/IP reading material first..
