Can two of these be used on the same door to achive a soft open and a soft close?

Yes. I did just that. I installed on a 28" door with about an inch of space to spare in the track. However the instructions say the minimum door width should be 24". Just make sure your door brackets (on top of door) are spaced correctly from the edge of the door (It varies depending on door width). As an aside I tried to put one more door bracket in the middle of the door to hold a standard roller, however the roller would not fit in a two mechanism soft close system (both sides open and close system). It may work on a 30" door or if I played with the bracket spacing a little. I just thought that since I had the extra parts three rollers would be better than two to distribute the weight of the door (65 Lbs).

How much force is needed to pull the door open? Can it be done comfortably with just your fingertips?

Not a lot of force. It is a two way spring that stops the door, and slowly closes it. A child can open and close it without problems.

Can this be used on a 1500 series pocket door by johnson? 36"

Yes, it is specifically made for the 1500 series pocket door frame and the 100PD series track and hardware.

Can this be used for other brands of doors and tracks?

I don't think so. The trolley and the clamping mechanism on the arm are made to fit Johnson aluminum pocket door track. Unless other manufacturers have the same track, it will not interchange.
