If your fish is darting around the tank, it's likely a water quality issue. You should test your water for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates which should be 0, 0, and less than 10 respectively; if it is not, do an immediate 75% water change making sure that the new water is the same temperature as the old water, and that you add the recommended dosage of water conditioner per the instructions on the bottle.
To keep your water at it's best, goldfish need at least 20 gallons for the first fish, and 10 gallons for any other fish after (so 2 fish need 30 gallons), and perform weekly water changes of at least 50% following the same instructions above.

You should be testing for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates which should be 0, 0, and less than 10 respectively.
The best way to keep these number in check is with regular water changes of at least 50% once a week, more if your tank is overstocked (one goldfish in a 20 gallon, two in a 30, three in a 40 etc).

If your goldfish is about 2 and a half inches long how big does its tank need to be?
Regardless of the type or size of goldfish the minimum acceptable size of an aquarium for a goldfish is 30 gallons. Buy a tank that is at least 30 gallons if you plan to have goldfish. You can comfortably fit 3 goldfish in a tank this size but no goldfish in a tank any smaller. Goldfish are essentially pond fish and need lots of space to swim; they will not thrive in a small aquarium.

No. A one gallon tank is not appropriate for a singular goldfish much less multiple.

A one gallon tank cannot handle the chasing that proceeds goldfish mating nor maintain a water quality that is suitable for raising goldfish fry.

Can an oranda goldfish live in same tank with regular goldfish?
Yes, but your tank size needs to support it. If you mean that a regular goldfish is a long single-tail goldfish, then you need at least a 40 gallon tank just for the 2 fish due to the size potential of the common goldfish. If you mean a regular goldfish as in a round bodied fantail, or perhaps a ryukin, then you need at least a 30 gallon tank for the 2 fish.
