Link Aggregation/Nic Teaming question(s)

So I am working on moving to a managed switch with LACP and getting a quad port NIC for my server and dual port for my secondary pc. Before you ask why just know this is what I intend to do.  My issue is that in my server I have a open port for a quad nic with no issues.  My problem is that my main or secondary pc has no open slot.  I have a on board gigabit nic but no open slots except for a 1x slot or usb 3.0 slots.  

 

So my question is the following can a on board nic plus a USB or 1x slot intel nic work together? 

 

and does each nic have to be compatible with 802.3ad/LACP?  I have looked on may cards and dont see any mention of it.

 

Thanks
