Always use co-ax connectors if you possibly can. Co-ax is manufactured to have certain electrical charactersitics and the connectors are designed to retain those characteristics thought the length of the connection. Ideally, BNC connectors should be the first choice but there are several others that can be used. Most co-ax connectors need specialist tools to make off, but there are some screw on BNC connectors available that can be used without the specialist crimping tools normally used. If the cables are connected with the wrong connectors or by being twisted together, then the signal will be adversely affected. How bad the effect is dependent on the length of the cables and how bad a job of splicing has been done. It might be as little as a faint ghost image that isn't noiceable or it could be enough to completely corrupt a signal.

No. The cable provider has to authorize the other modem on the network before it can be used, and they will not do that, since they want you to pay for another cable installation.
