1. Can I specify the same network name for the second instance during setup? So the instances would be as follows...cluster1\inst1, cluster1\inst2.
No, networknames, like computernames, must be unique in the Windows domain.

2. Does installing a second instance require any additional IP addresses?
Yes, IP address, network name, storage, etc

3. Can the second instance share the same SAN disks as the first, so all the MDF and LDF files are in the same location?
No, you need separate storage resources for each new instance.
