Do both lights turn off if one bulb is taken out from a series circuit?
Yes. A typical light bulb socket is an open circuit when the bulb is removed, thus blocking the flow of current and turning off the remaining bulb. The removed bulb would go out too, of course.

Are you supposed to wrap the copper wire around the light bulb when making a potato powered light bulb?
You have to connect one conductor from potato to one terminal on light bulb and the other to the second conductor. Your light bulb must be a low voltage and low current bulb because a potato delivers very little power. Light bulbs that screw in would have one connection point on the screw in part and one at the bottom of the base of the bulb. It would be best to put the bulb in a socket that would allow easier connection of wires instead of trying to wrap the wire around the bulb.
