Yes, you can.

You can use it with your login email and password.

Better way would be to use device codes so you don't share your login and password.

A second iPad will not show what you are doing on the first iPad, it will be its own point of sale. there is an app from square that is in beta called Customer Display that will show you what is in your transaction but it can not be used for signatures yet.
