Firewall Rule Processing

I have a question on how the firewall rules are executed. 

I use a NAT Port Forward to redirect DNS requests from selected devices (using an alias) on my LAN to an external server of my choice.  That automatically creates a firewall rule to pass the traffic to the external server.  I also want to setup a failover group but leave those devices using the default WAN0, so I have another firewall rule to pass traffic from those devices to WAN0 gateway.  I cannot combine those two rules as I cannot edit the rule linked to the NAT Port Forward.

If I set "Quick" only on the last rule, will both of those rules be executed on a match?

No to the last question. But you can disable the automatic firewall rule creation on the port forward (set Filter rule association to None) and then just set up a single manual rule as you want it
