Q: Can these glasses be used for mold removal with the 3m mold and lead paint removal respirator 6297pa1-a half face mask?

Yes definitely! I just finished using this setup to remove a lot a mold during my house reno. It worked great. You just have to make sure you fit the mask appropriately so air doesnt escape vertically up along your nose and into the mask. As long as I did that, I never got condensation inside the glasses. I continue to use this setup for cutting cement board and love it. One more tip, depending how long your job is, you might want to buy an additional set of filters for your 6297. I've used my filters for about 16 hours of active work and they are still ok so far, but it may depend how contaminated your environment is. You'll know if they need to be changed if you can't easily breathe through them or if you can start smelling things through them.

Q: Can you wear eyeglasses under these?

Mine fit fine, smaller oval lenses and fairly narrow frames. I think some medium lenses would work but larger or aviator shapes, nope...and they shouldn't be much wider than your head or jut forward much at all. Some lenses with a lower edge may still fit if you put them in the goggle first and then don both together (hassle, but it works). I'm able to put on and remove the goggles without having to do that.

Q: Would these be good to prevent acid vapor (formic acid) from reaching the eyes? They're non-vented, so perhaps yes?

I can chime in in regards to smoke. I know they do a fantastic job of keeping smoke out of my eyes when burning large piles of brush. So good I sometimes get too close to the fire where smoke would of chased me out before. Perhaps they would provide the same protection for you.
