Depends what you mean by "treat two disks as one". If you want to use
RAID1 to mirror the two disks, you have to configure RAID. If you
want the two disks to show up as one large partition, you could use
LVM, mark the two disks as physical partitions for LVM and then make a
volume group on top of that.

Both are supposed by the Debian installer.

Yes you can.

Note that everything will work alright if you use RAID or LVM. But if
you refer directly to the disks (i.e. /dev/sdaX and /dev/sdbX) you
have to follow
