This option/configuration part is for the pcap acquisition module. You
can now specify multiple interfaces with different configuration for
pcap, pfring and af_packet acquisition module. Have a look at the
following blog post for more information:

Yes, you can do this by using multiple -q switches on the command line:
	suricata -c suricata.yaml -q 0 -q 1

Yes for pcap.
