I would say two without looking anything up. Not sure if that's right, but that is what comes to mind. I'd probably end up dropping out before the million dollar question though.
And now I see I'm right from the first answer above. I knew Phobos but not the other one.

1) Two natural 'moons' (with a lower case m, moon can be used to describe a satellite of another planet -- for our Moon, use a capital M).
Mars, being red (color of blood) was named after the god of war (Mars for the Romans, Ares for the Greeks: a star that looks like Mars is called Antares which we could translate as 'similar to Mars' as it can be held 'against Mars' for comparison).
Constant companions of war are: fear and panic (Phobos and Deimos in Greek).
There are 'artificial moons' put up there by Americans, Soviets and Russians; even the British had one.
2) Depends on the topic, I guess.

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are small and irregularly shaped. These may be captured asteroids

2 -- Phobos and Deimos. They aren't called "moons" though, they are called satellites.
