If you are talking about wireless talking then no, you can use the second rouder just as a hub, but nothing else.

Not exactly. You would need a wireless bridge to make this work. The function of a bridge is just that, to bridge networks.
Also, you can uplink via cable. One router (#1)has the modem the other (#2) does not. you would plug the WAN/INTERNET port from #2 into a regular port on #1......#1's WAN/INTERNET is plugged into the modem. Depending on where the router is located, this may be a feasible solution....you may need to run a considerable length of cable between the routers

Hello; I am not aware of any routers being able to connect to one another wirelessly. No, if (let's say) your neighbor has internet, and you want it... you need a card, so that your PC can communicate with his router... if his router is filled, then daisy chain another router to it, to allow more connections... but the second router must be physically connected... but the additional computers can connect to that wireless router, wirelessly (is that a word? wirelessly?) Anyway, that's how it works.
I hope this helped!

Yep. I've seen routers at starbucks sipping on a nice cappucino talking about the internet.
(you'll likely need a crossover cable connected to the uplink port on one of the routers)
