Can a kidney from cadaveric kidney recipeint be reused after he or she is brain dead?

Logically speaking I don't see why not.

Why is it that a person that gives a kidney to someone else can survive with one kidney but the other needs two?

The person recieving the kidney does not normally require two, so long as the donated kidney is working fully. Usually a "kidney transplant recipient" just means that they've gained one extra kidney (since the originals are not normally removed) - this is the standard procedure. However a transplanted kidney has a life of about ten - 15 years, which means that eventually they may need to be transplanted again.
