Sure.

No.
Depending on signal strength, you may want a preamp on the output of the
splitter. A really good splitter will burn 4 dB, a poor one will burn
more. The best splitters I know of are Mini-Circuits. Not cheap. If you
bring both feedlines to the splitter and get AC power at the splitter,
you could add a preamp at one or both of the antennas. The Channel
Master 7777 and 7778 are the best preamps I know of.
