If i reastore the Master database of my instance 1 on my instance 2 what happens?
Will the instance two be named as instance one?

Yes, and no.

run this to rename the server name:

sp_dropserver 'old_name' 
go 
sp_addserver 'new_name', 'local' 
go

You can use the drop/add as Henrico pointed out. My question is - why would you want to do this? What benefit do you see that a fresh install of SQL won't give you?
