Can you add an extra shower head to your shower just by cutting a tee into the shower head riser or will you lose pressure to both heads?
Yes, you can install a tee in the riser. The pressure loss will be minimal since both shower heads will have a flow restrictor unless you remove them. If you remove them, you probably wont notice any difference. If you do notice a difference, put the flow restrictor back in the closest shower head to the shower valve.

How do you remove a shower water restrictor?
The ones that I am used to are in the shower head. You have to remove the shower head or nozzle using a wrench. The restrictor should be right in the front where it connects to the pipe. It's just usually a small piece of plastic that only allows so much water to pass through. Remove that and you can put the shower head back on. If the fitting leaks you may need to get some teflon tape to wrap around the threads when you put it back on. Have a good shower.

Unscrew the shower head. Remove the funnel shaped screen. You will now see a green plastic plug with a black rubber o-ring inserted in it. Use a dental pick or knife to remove the rubber o-ring. Clean and re-install the screen. This should effectively increase the flow to the shower head.
Is there any inexpensive way to add more power and water pressure to a shower?

Sometimes you have to drill them out by drilling from the bottom so the excess falls out of the head vertically.
What would cause hot water to run out in 1 shower in just 5 minutes yet run for 30 in another shower?
It would have to be the controls or the shower head. Distance from the heater or size of supply lines shouldn't have much affect. The only variable would be the control or shower head and either one could have a flow restrictor in it or both.
