There doesn't appear to be any NS records listed for hinet.tw at the moment, so yes, everything for that domain will be broken for anyone who's DNS isn't holding cached records.

Yes, Mail will queue for $predetermined_time (usually ~5 days) and then bounce with whatever problem the server has been having.
