Two issues with VGA

I'm honestly not sure where this belongs, feel free to move.

I've got 2 separate but related issues that I feel certain are easily solved with a cable or some sort of switcher, but I'm not even sure what to google for.

1. I have a TV with one normal PC input (VGA?). I've got my Xbox360 using it at the moment as that was the easiest way to give me a pretty good picture (the HDMI is already in use). Now I've got a PC that I want to hook up to this TV aswell. Is it possible to get something like a SCART switch box which will take both VGA in and output one that can be plugged into the TV?

2. I have a (different) PC without a fancy dual monitor graphics card (and I'm not even sure it could take one). However I do have a spare monitor and was considering seeing if I could hook it up so that I could put up a resolution of say 2560x1024 (ie twice as wide as normal) and have it split off onto two monitors? That seems reasonable to me, but like I said I have no idea what to google for. Perhaps a dual monitor gfx would be cheaper/better?

What about a SCART > VGA cable and then a standard SCART switchbox?

Okay, I tell a lie, it's not a PC. It's a Dreamcast console that has a VGA box attached, so I could attach as normal through SCART but I get a better picture the VGA box so converting back to SCART makes no sense in this case.
