If the exponential distributions have the same scale parameter it's known as the Erlang-2 distribution. PDF and CDF exist in closed-form but the quantile function does not.
If you're looking to generate random variates the easiest method is to sum exponentially distributed variates. If the scale parameter is the same you can simplify a bit: -log(U0) - log(U1) = -log(U0*U1).
According to the Central Limit Theorem the sum of [a sufficiently large number of] independent, identically distributed random variables has a Gaussian distribution. This is true irrespective of the underlying distribution of each individual random variable.As a result, many of the measurable variables that we come across have a Gaussian distribution and consequently, it is also called the normal distribution.According to the Central Limit Theorem the sum of [a sufficiently large number of] independent, identically distributed random variables has a Gaussian distribution.

we compute it by using their differences
If a random variable X has a Normal distribution with mean m and standard deviation s, then z = (X - m)/s has a Standard Normal distribution. That is, Z has a Normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Probabilities for a general Normal distribution are extremely difficult to obtain but values for the Standard Normal have been calculated numerically and are widely tabulated. The z-transformation is, therefore, used to evaluate probabilities for Normally distributed random variables.
The normal distribution occurs when a number of random variables, with independent distributions, are added together. No matter what the underlying probability distribution of the individual variables, their sum tends to the normal as their number increases. Many everyday measures are composed of the sums of small components and so they follow the normal distribution.
The question is excellent. If two independent random variable with different pdf's are multiplied together, the mathematics of calculating the resultant distribution can be complex. So, I would prefer to use Monte-Carlo simulation to calculate the resultant distribution. Generally, I use the Matlab program. If this is not a satisfactory answer, it would be good to repost your question.

Yes, and the new distribution has a mean equal to the sum of the means of the two distribution and a variance equal to the sum of the variances of the two distributions. The proof of this is found in Probability and Statistics by DeGroot, Third Edition, page 275.
Given "n" random variables, normally distributed, and the squared values of these RV are summed, the resultant random variable is chi-squared distributed, with degrees of freedom, k = n-1. As k goes to infinity, the resulant RV becomes normally distributed. See link.
Random
The sum of two random variables that are normally distributed will be also be normally distributed. Use the link and check out the article. It'll save a cut and paste.
YES.
Not necessarily. It needs to be a random sample from independent identically distributed variables. Although that requirement can be relaxed, the result will be that the sample means will diverge from the Normal distribution.
The importance is that the sum of a large number of independent random variables is always approximately normally distributed as long as each random variable has the same distribution and that distribution has a finite mean and variance. The point is that it DOES NOT matter what the particular distribution is. So whatever distribution you start with, you always end up with normal.
Stochastic processes are families of random variables. Real-valued (i.e., continuous) random variables are often defined by their (cumulative) distribution function.
You must pay for the answer
The Cauchy or Cauchy-Lorentz distribution. The ratio of two Normal random variables has a C-L distribution.
A probability density function can be plotted for a single random variable.
