2. Can a child be the beneficiary of more than one 529 account?
     

Yes, the same individual can be a beneficiary on several 529 accounts.  For example, a parent and grandparent can open an account for the same child or a parent can open multiple accounts for the same child.  There isn’t a limit on the number of accounts that can be in place for a single child. The state’s limitation on the maximum contribution applies to the beneficiary.  If two accounts are held in two different state plans, the two states are not required to consider balances in the two accounts when computing maximum contributions, though some states have begun to do this.
