You can indeed use to xbox machines from the same address, I don't think you can sign on twice though with the same xbox live profile / account.
Regarding your wireless adapter, you don't have to do it like that.

can allow you to use your wireless network but connect your xbox to it using a wired connection. They work out at �30 each but you may be able to get them cheaper.
Hope this helps.
