Answer 1

Just fill the screen with white and then draw the second screen onto the main screen. Then when you need the other screen, just refill the screen with black and then continue. It would help if both of your screens a function and you used a key like tab to "switch" between screens.

Answer 2

Depends on what you mean.

If you mean making multiple windows at the same time, no, you can't do that--it's a limitation of SDL (although you CAN fake it by using multiprocessing (not multithreading)).

If you mean changing one screen around, yes, you can do that, with multiple calls to pygame.display.set_mode(...). You can change the resolution, arguments, etc. If you're doing OpenGL stuff, that will remake the context too.

If you just mean drawing different things to the same window, of course! That's sorta the point of PyGame.

Other than that, you'll have to clarify.
