I usually wire them as you would one relay but the single wire to switch it and the power to what you are running would split to both of them.

It would be what you would do, so both relays would do the same duty. Just splitting the load.

No. Battery to relays, switch to relays, ground to relays, power from relay to the power sucker. Don't jumper between relays, when you wire one, you wire two.

Not a problem. This is something I should do with my 2 speed electric fan but one 30 amp relay is happy but draws a bunch on startup.
