Well, the normal setting is to have at least two name servers. Preferably on different class C networks! You do need to use two public IP's (one for each nameserver).
So yes you need to use two nameservers.
If you want to see how that works check

And here is a good article on DNS

By all means yes! In fact, providing multiple name servers is standard practice, which allows the failure of one server without the loss of DNS for your domain.
However, I would check with your domain register about your need for name servers. Unless you run a large domain, they will usually provide multiple name servers for you, and if you do run a large domain they will usually run a secondary name server for you.
For information on DNS, I would suggest that you obtain the "DNS Bind Cookbook". It explains how to configure BIND to do all this stuff.
