Some of this depends on how much water flow you need, like how much water you need to get out of the pool to supply a water feature. That said, just to do the job of a skimmer (get surface waste off the water) one placed in the proper location for you location should do the job. A professional should come to your yard to see what other factors may be there that may cause you to want a second though.

What valves do you leave open when cleaning pool?

You should have two valves: one for the skimmers and another for the bottom drain. Close the valve to the bottom drain. One of your skimmers should have a rotating disc which will cover the intake at the bottom of the skimmer intake hole. Rotate the disc. In this manner all the suction from the pool pump will be at the one remaining skimmer. Attach your cleaning hose to this remaining skimmer while vacuuming the pool.

Absoltutely not. The pressure underground will lift and crack your pool. You should lower the water to below the skimmers and do a full pool closing for the pipe system. If you don't know how to get the water out of the pipes and filter you must call a professional. Most owners do it themselves but be sure to learn the proper technique.
