Ok I will leave this thread open for more answers but this does give me some help for researching this
Linus made a video about this it's about two gamers on the same system but basically the only thing that changes for you is that you will not need as high end a system since only one game will be running and the other one will be doing other stuff.
Basically it's not worth the effort unless there is a very specific reason fo it.

It depends on if the game allows you to define the controls for each player,with most games it should be possible.
Oh wait,if you mean the other person would use the PC for something else and not to play with you it's going to be pretty hard to do that because windows takes away the focus from the game if you click on something else.
