You cannot mix kitchen type receptacles with other rooms. Kitchen, pantry, DR, nook, etc. can all be shared but no other rooms. The gas range receptacle can be on the small appliance circuit, but doesn't have to be. The hood cannot though.

Our electrician put our garbage disposal on the same circuit as the garage. Is this OK?

It's certainly not going to hurt anything. You could have a problem if you try to grind up food while someone in the garage is running a table saw, but it would be a tripped breaker. The only other issue could be a tripped GFCI in the garage might take out the garbage disposal, if wired wrong, but it is not likely it is wired that way.
