Yes, it is possible and does occur from time to time. In identical twins, one egg in the womb splits to two children. In paternal twins, two eggs are fertilized and both mature inside the womb.

Yes, twins have to be the same age and have the same birthday; though there is such a thing as Irish Twins, wherein a second sibling is born on the first sibling's birthday, but not in the same year. Although it may only be a tradition, it plays out well because children born in this circumstance often look very much alike.

If the children are born at just before and just after midnight then technically they will have different birthdays.

Also, sometimes the delivery of the second twin is purposely delayed, particularly when the first is delivered very early.
