Does the Phu Quoc visa exemption allow travel to mainland Vietnam?

It depends on your nationality. Russians get 45 days visa-free for all of Vietnam. Most other nationalities get only a 30-day Phu Quoc-specific exemption that does not allow travel to mainland Vietnam.

What happens if you overstay your visa-free period in Vietnam — fine or deportation?
