No. Lest we forget means: in order that we not forget.
A passion that will never end, die, or be extinguished.
The pure and utter reason we commemorate Anzac day is to remember the many many man and children who fought and died for our country, why shouldn't we celebrate that. Lest we forget.
Yes. ANZAC Day commemorates the landing at Gallipoli in 1915, and Remembrance Day commemorates the official end of World War I.

Poppies and rosemary may both be worn on ANZAC Day.
It gives australians spirit and is a day to remember the fallen and the surviving and to remember what they had to go thorough at Gallipoli on 25th of April 1915. Lest we forget.
Remembrance Day is the 11th of November. It is the day the Armistice was signed ending the First World War. At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, Australians observe one minutes' silence in remembrance of those who gave their lives for their country in all wars. "Lest We Forget".

Normally, there are not two ANZAC Day holidays. ANZAC Day is always the public holiday. In 2011, ANZAC Day fell on the Monday after Easter, which was already a public holiday, so there was an extra holiday on the day after ANZAC Day.
Initially, it was a day of remembrance for those ANZACs who lost their lives at Gallipoli, but it has long since become a day of remembrance for all ANZACs who died in all wars.
Most ANZAC Day services are held at dawn. Others which are held later must be completed before 12:00. Note that, as ANZAC is a solemn remembrance, it is not "celebrated", but rather, "commemorated".
