Most cats will not hurt a kitten. They can sense that it's only a baby, and they won't do any serious damage to it. They might hiss at the kitten at first, or attack it without seriously hurting it, but this is more of a display of dominance, sort of like, "You can live here, but remember that this is MY house."

Hopefully, they will establish a relationship after a couple of weeks, and will turn out to be good friends. It really depends on the individual cat. My parents have three cats, and all three have lived together since they were kittens, yet they don't really snuggle together or play together at all. All three just sort of avoid each other. My two cats are best buddies. They sleep together all the time, and they play-fight all the time. I got them both at the same time, but one was 8 years old, and the other was a 2 week-old kitten.

Even if your two cats don't turn out to be friends, I seriously doubt that they will end up hating each other so much that you have to keep them separated. I've never heard of that happening (again, as long as the new cat is a kitten).

If adding a second cat should the new cat be a kitten?

Not necessarily. The age and personality of the existing cat should be taken into consideration when adding a new cat. Some adult cats may do better with another adult cat while others may accept a kitten more easily. It's important to properly introduce the cats and provide adequate space for them to adjust to each other.
