Answer 1

It depends heavily on the media player control that you are using, but as a generic approach you can remove the build in control of the player and place them outside the control.

Then in each action, you should call a Sync function, to keep both in sync.
Something like this:

Sub Button_Pause_Pressed()
  Player1.Pause
  Sync( Player1, Player2 )
end sub

Sub Sync( SourcePlayer, DestinationPlayer )
  if SourcePlayer.isPaused then 
      DestinationPlayer.Pause  
  end if
  '' // etc.
end sub

If you can use WPF, is much easier, because you can bind the controls of both player to the same ViewModel object and keep both in sync.
