The slightly longer answer: You can reassign Jaheira's portrait to the BG1 portrait using Near Infinity pretty easily. In fact, I'm sure that there will be a mod released to do just that.
You can change her portrait easier way: Put desired portraits (with apropriate sizes) into "Portraits" folder and name them jaheiraS/JaheiraM/JaheiraL.

You can put NPC portraits either in the Portraits or Override folder as for BGEE both folders are fine. However, if you want to see the new portraits also in NearInfinity, they must be put in the Override folder.
Nah, I would prefer that portraits and voicesets for the original NPC stayed untouched. You can swap them whatever you like by yourself, if you really want to. The thing is, that YOU may like that portrait, but some of people out there might want to play with original portraits... And as I said, you can modify it by yourself
However if I create a new protagonist in BG2 using the Jaheria portrait then the game would automatically assign a different portrait to Jaheira (or at least that how it worked last time I checked).
Wait, does this seriously happen? I've gone through life assuming that you basically only choose NPC portraits for CHARNAME if you're OK with pretending the face you stole it from doesn't exist.
Are any of these totally ridiculous? Like, is Dorn's replacement portrait a non-orc? What about Viconia's?
For that matter, if this is the case, why the hell don't we get Dorn's portrait as a custom portrait, or did I just not notice it because I had assumed I'd end up with 2 identical portraits?

Which face does BG give to them?

And yes, his portrait is selectable for CHARNAME. You can make him look like a pretty-boy human if you want.
