Yes for both inertial armor and mage armor. Mage armor is a conjuration (creation) spell, so it explicitly makes an actual, tangible set of armor with the described properties.
Expect table variation. There was a hotly debated thread a bit back about whether Mage Armor was a valid target for Magic Vestment. Mage Armor doesn't create "armor". It creates a field of force that provides an armor bonus. Thus, there's a question as to whether this is an intended, valid target for this type of effect.
My personal opinion is no. But like I said, YMMV.
Bracers of Armor are magical items that are created using Mage Armor. That's not quite the same thing as Mage Armor itself benefiting from other magical enhancements. And it's also not necessarily clear that Bracers of Armor are valid targets for this ability (considering the cap at +5 enhancement bonus, the ability to add flat-cost enhancements, and the fact that Bracers aren't armor, just items that provide an armor bonus).
So once again, expect table variation because there likely isn't a straightforward, uniformly accepted answer at this point.
No, it is not physical armor, it is a force effect.
Baku Shadescar,
RAW: The rules are silent
RAI: some people (including myself) believe that the intent is that you can only benefit from one armor (effect or real) at a time. This includes the special armor properties.
Other people believe that what you propose is fine.
Perhaps a FAQ thread should be made.

I'd point towards Instant Armor to debunk the Mage Armor/Magical Force Effect is not "real" armor, but I still think those against it would disagree.
As for the ide of Mage Armor + Magical Armor Properties/Enhancement Bonus, it's sort of a grey area. Normally, you can only benefit from one of them at a time, and it's a Standard Action to, for instance deactive one Ring and Activate another. You can wear as many magical rings as you want, but can only benefit normally from 2 of them at a time. This may or may not apply to Mage Armor and another Armor.
I'd allow it. Obviously other say no.

For Rings and similar things, it's in the Core Book.
Magic Items on the Body
HERE
Many magic items need to be donned by a character who wants to employ them or benefit from their abilities. It's possible for a creature with a humanoid-shaped body to wear as many as 15 magic items at the same time. However, each of those items must be worn on (or over) a particular part of the body, known as a “slot.”
A humanoid-shaped body can be decked out in magic gear consisting of one item from each of the following groups, keyed to which slot on the body the item is worn.
Armor: suits of armor.
Belts: belts and girdles.
Body: robes and vestments.
Chest: mantles, shirts, and vests.
Eyes: eyes, glasses, and goggles.
Feet: boots, shoes, and slippers.
Hands: gauntlets and gloves.
Head: circlets, crowns, hats, helms, and masks.
Headband: headbands and phylacteries.
Neck: amulets, brooches, medallions, necklaces, periapts, and scarabs.
Ring (up to two): rings.
Shield: shields.
Shoulders: capes and cloaks.
Wrist: bracelets and bracers.
Of course, a character may carry or possess as many items of the same type as he wishes. However, additional items beyond those in the slots listed above have no effect.
Some items can be worn or carried without taking up a slot on a character's body. The description of an item indicates when an item has this property.
For the Mage Armor deal, generally those against it are forming a double standard. It's NOT a "suite of armor" as far as being a physical thing you can touch, and thus target. But it IS a "suite of armor" in that it takes of the Armor Body Slot.
Mage armour is also not a magic item, so those rules are flaky at best. You can't apply the magic item rules to mundane items or you get some very weird interactions (for example, wearing a suit of leather armour over the top to 'cancel out' the mundane properties of a set of full plate). Applying magic item rules to spells is similarly frought with peril.
