My interpretation is that yes a Val and a Gnome can breed, the Curse would be more powerful than the Val trait. As such, a Dwarf or Gnome with a Val should make a Gnome.
As to last name, a Val would never (out of fear of their own life) claim a Gnome as their child (at least officially). If they did, the stigma would be so great that one or both would be killed or maybe sold to slavery. This is not the loving world of today, and the sanctity of the Val race is something NO human society would allow to pass by in such a case. As such, if the Gnome is allowed to live it would not carry a 'Val Name', and probably not carry a Vassal Family name either. They would be buried so deep you would never be able to connect them to the Vals
