Make the second one a SCHEDULED time stamp, for example.
When Org collects entries for the day, it goes through
the files, once for plain time stamps, once for scheduled,
once for deadlines.  When an entry matches, it stops
looking for timestamps in the same entry.  So you need
to make the stamps of different kind to make them show
up both.

No, except if you use a diary sexp in the time stamp.  But not with
native Org syntax.
