Works fine for me. Though I had to reload Mental Ray when I opened the second copy of Maya.

Windows>> Setting/ Prefs>> Plugin manager>> mayatomr

I have no idea - sorry

maybe something to do with your PC setup - I have always been able to open more than one Maya but with this new i7 I have had four versions open at the same time.

Never really needed to have more than one open though

Just a note on the i7, I've never had it drop cores while rendering. Just my experience. But yeah, wait till the hexacores drop in price...
