If I have two active directory domains that have the same netbios domain name, but different fully qualified domain names, can they trust each other (one-way, two-way, etc.)?

No this is 100% not supported or working. I have this exact scenario in my environment. Your options are domain rename or creating child domains that have trusts between each other and using resources between the child domains via a two way trust.
Another option is new domain and migrate, which might sound difficult but if it's a small amount of objects it can be done in a few hours with little downtime.
