Its nothing special - it just carries a 12v signal to the amp to switch it on

if you know what it is then you should know as he just said its only a 12v signal which can easily and safely be split though i would say its better reliability to split it at the headunit side as it will be a more reliable signal as a lot tend to do it in the boot and too much loss in the distance

run your remote lead to the first amp as normal, then take a feed from the remote on the first amp to the second, shouldnt cause any problems with two amps but if your doing it with more then i would recomend using a relay

YES. I dont see why not. Wire is wire, so as long as its thick enough (in this case it needent be massivly thick) then it will carry whatever is put down it.
