No it should work great. If it is to strong you can always turn the power down

I dont think it would be overkill but you will most likely have to run it at 70% or higher for that size tank. I would recommend a mp40 for anything larger than 50g, run it at 20% or less and if you ever decide to upgrade to something bigger you can move the 40 up with you.

One would work but corals really benefit from random flow and its hard to get random flow from 1 pump. Having 2 pumps allows flow to collide and change intensity and direction allowing for better random flow. Doesn't have to be 2 mp10s specifically but any other flow pump would help along with 1 mp10
