H/S Deferred MBA and PE recruiting

Hey guys, got into H/S deferred MBA program (I can defer up to 4 years) a few months ago and wanted to get people's thoughts on two questions I had:

1) Would it be ok/good to put this on my resume for pre-MBA associate roles since many people leave after 2 years anyway? Would some recruiters be concerned at all that I wouldn't be staying for more than 2 years?

2) If I went straight to H/S for my MBA after 2 years in banking how badly would this affect my recruiting prospects for the buy side post-MBA?

Thanks! Would appreciate any comments!
