Just ask specific questions in the right forum section 'general or new multibox users' and people will gladly answer your questions.

To answer the two you asked:

Yes you need an account for every character you intend to play and the expansions as you level. You can buy vanilla WOW and multibox up to 60, then buy TBC and goto 70, etc... Or just buy them all at once- regardless you need to buy the game for each character you plan on playing at the same time.

You do not need 2 monitors and you don't need 2 computers either. Programs such as ISboxer create small windows at the bottom of your screen for each WOW open.

I'd also add "read the FAQ" because you will get cranky responses if you ask questions that have been asked, answered and re-answered over and over.

Everyone here is very helpful, but being respectful of people's time by doing some basic homework first is the right thing to do.

You can software box, with several toons on one computer (or even across a few computers), or you can hardware box with one warcraft per computer. Both options are good, depending on what you want.

Most of us are software boxing.
There is a sticky in the software forum, which talks a bit about the various options.
I'll recommend IS Boxer, as easy to set up, powerful and flexible once you want to adapt your system to be better able to beat an encounter or whatever.
But that's hardly the only option.

How many toons are you interested in?
Many go with five toons, for a full party.
But two toons is the minimum to be dual-boxing.
And some go with ten, for 10-man raids.
A couple (Sam & Prepared) have 30 odd accounts.

Are you interested in PvE heroics or PvP melting faces?
Or both aspects of the game?
