Answer 1

All you need to do is point the specific VM to use your second NIC in the VM settings, you'll have to re-IP that VM obviously but it'll just work. If you want the VM to maintain the existing vNIC then simply create a second, point the new one at the second NIC and IP it appropriately paying particular attention to either your default gateway and/or static routes.

Answer 2

I am not sure I understand what exact network configuration do you want... But try to go to menu Edit->Virtual Network Editor. There select VMnet0 (bridged) and change "Bridget to" from automatic to your 2nd network adapter.

Good luck!
