^^This.
I've got two Macs with two different Apple IDs on the same network, no problems. And there are others here that have even more Macs on the same network.
Apple IDs don't care what wifi it's on or wifi being shared. Example, go to any coffee shop and see how many MacBooks there sharing same wifi.

Sorry, I should have said the router and your iMac should both be set for DHCP, which the the common method for home networks.
Probably not... If your router provides wifi, which I think it does based on what you said, it has to do DHCP for wifi clients. There is basically no other consumer level equipment choice, your devices would not work.
In my house we have sometimes 4+ different Apple IDs used on 6+ macs and 8+ iOS devices (depends who is home). Standard wifi setup handles this. 99.99999% sure you are fine...
