Does the helium spectrum have twice as many lines as the hydrogen spectrum?

No. In vacuum(i.e.no continuum lowering), both have an infinite number of lines in the spectrum, hence the question makes no sense.

How does the number of lines in the emission spectrum for an element compare with the number of lines in the absorption spectrum?

An emission spectrum depend on electrons transition in the atom of a chemical element; and elements are different.Absorption spectrum is based on the different absorption pics of different molecules, depending on the frequency of radiation.Spectral methods are largely used in analytical chemistry.
