Being a relative newbie, I wondered whether you could run just one HDD in
none RAID initially, then install another at a later date to take advantage
of RAID1 (mirrored), without having to reinstall the OS, Apps, and data?

Depends on the controller, but it should work on most. Check your
controller's docs or mfgr web site.

Yes, but not RAID0.

If you couldn't, how would you replace a damaged RAID1 hard drive? :)
