About half of the states have laws designed as a guarantee to back up the pledge to vote a certain way that every elector makes. I know that Ohio is one of those states, but I don't know what their presidential election law(s) say(s).
Generally speaking, each state has a right to choose the method for deciding how each elector is chosen. I don't know if those rules are laws or traditions, but in either case the state can change them (it just takes longer to change a law than to change a tradition).
Of the 52 elections in which Ohio has participated to date since becoming a state, there has been only one in which Ohio has split its vote: In 1892, Ohio cast 22 votes for the Republican ticket, Harrison/Reid, and 1 vote for the Democratic ticket, Cleveland/Stevenson.

No, Ohio delegates are not required to vote for only one presidential candidate. They have the flexibility to cast their votes for the candidate of their choice during the national convention. However, delegates are typically pledged to vote for a specific candidate based on the results of the state's primary or caucus.
