If the two switches controlled both of the lights at the same time, then you have 3-way switches and the black/red wires are called runners. One of the 3-way switches will have a hot wire connected to the common contact and the other switch will have the common contact connected to the load or lights.
It may be best to get an electrician to take a look and see what you have.

Yes, just take off the unwanted switch and light and close the circuit. it shouldnt be too hard, however if your unsure about what your doing its best to find a friend that knows a little about electrical work and ask for some help.

Yes, just don't need the red/ just black-white and bare copper. The red was needed for 2 switches.
