2. If I use iTunes for 2 different phones, will it apply the same encryption password to both phones?

You need to give a password for each device separately while taking encrypted backup. You may choose to keep one password for both the devices. The choice is yours.

When I backup to iCloud, does it save all data to include that which would be backed-up if I use encryption with iTunes

iCloud backup doesn’t include information that is synced and stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memos, Messages*, shared photos, iCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive.

*-If you had turned on Messages in iCloud & iCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.
