1. No need to start a new account. Just use your current profiles and use the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to one account and then use that account to take advantage of the Home Xbox feature of the console to share the games and subscription to other accounts on the console.

Yes, you can create/add a second account with Game Pass Ultimate on the second console and have it set that console as it's Home and everyone will have access to gold/games on both consoles. The only thing that won't work on both are any games you purchased on your account that aren't included in Game Pass. They would only be able to access those games on your Home console unless you are signed in.
