Yes, that would be fine.

Reading over 8e after sitting out a few editions, and a few issues arise in reading over the Inquisition rules.

As I understand it, the Authority of the Inquisition rule would never have allowed taking Dedicated Transports from other factions, only riding in them.
This would make a pure Inquisitorial army limited to quite a small size if playing by common tournament rules of 3 detachments, and a maximum of 3 copies of any unit

This leads to the alliance rules. Per the FAQ / Errata that I perused, the [Imperium] faction marker does not itself allow mixed-units (lacking another common Faction marker) to be in the same detachment. But that same [Imperium] marker allows different detachment to be within the same Battle-forged force (i.e., most tournament play).

Thus, the core question here is the legality of the following: an Inquisition detachment of the Vanguard organization, an Astra Militarium detachment of the Patrol persuasion, and a Space Marine detachment also in Vanguard. The Militarium would have the option to take up to 3 Chimera as Dedicated Transports, which could be loaded with Inquisition acolyte squads from deployment.

Yes, that would be fine because you have your Inquisition units isolated into their own detachment.

Also keep in mind that the "Suggestions for Organised Play" found in the BRB errata explicitly exempt Troops and Dedicated Transports from the limited times you may include the datasheet.

One follow-up question: is a unit able to take a Dedicated Transport that it cannot fit into? While a Terminator Squad might be unable to ride inside a Razorback, it would be quite useful if they could purchase one for use by Acolyte squads.

Yes! (well sort of, the transport is not dedicated to a unit, merely dedicated to being a transport - and is a detachment slot separate from any of the other units in the det.)
A Tank Commander and 3 Leman Russ's in a Vanguard Det., could take 4 Taurox's as their Transport allocation if you wanted them to, despite being unable to ride in them at all!

"Dedicated Transport" is somewhat of a misnomer and a holdover from previous editions. The only "special" thing about is is that you can only include one "Dedicated Transport" for each other unit in your detachment. E.g. if your detachment is 2 Company Commanders and 3 Infantry Squads, you can take, at most, five "Dedicated Transport" units.

This means you can "buy" a "Dedicated" Transport for something like a Land Raider if you so wish.
