Creating a Test AD on an existing network

It won't affect it at all. There are no issues with having multiple domain controllers for different domains and forests on the same network.

however, remember that machines can only be a member of a single domain and domain names must be different.

Two things - the impact of a 2nd AD is not zero. There are extra DNS queires going on, and there is some traffic. However it is small. and by virtualising it on a private Hyper-V network switch, you eliminate that traffic from the production network, aside form the traffic you generate with RDP!

Secondliy, while it;s true a given maching can only be a member of a single forest/domain, you can access multtiple domains from a single client without too much effort.
