In config.php, you have an option of selecting table prefixes. Just make sure the prefix on the second installation is different than the first.

After installation, change the table prefix to the one of the first forum.

After you do the above step, yes. However, any changes you do to the second forum will appear on the first. They will be exact mirror copies.

Yes, the forum will not work properly if you do the above step and run different versions (change the table prefix to the prefix of the first forum).
