Yes. The router probably uses something called Network Address Translation(NAT). Basically, it assigns a unique IP address to each computer on your network. It uses certain ports to keep track of what data is coming to and from each computer(to over simplify). Basically, the router is given the IP address from you ISP. It then directs incoming packets to the destination computer, while using the single IP address from your provider for Internet traffic.

Yeap. The IP goes to the router, the router in turn gives out new IP's to the PC's.
A router almost always includes a firewall, so that adds protection as well.
A common wireless router is Linksys.

Yes, you can use 2 computers at the same time with a wireless router. I bought my daughter a laptop, so both of us use our computers at the same time. When buying your wireless router, get advice from a knowledgeable salesperson. The first router I bought had to be returned because it was too hard for a rookie like me to figure out. The second one was easy to install.
Good luck.
