I believe yes, both turns are treated as Priority moves.

Yes, I've personally tried it because I thought the 2nd turn wouldn't get priority (thereby allowing it to be invulnerable from anything except opposing priority), but turn 2 does get priority as well.
I went to Pokemon Showdown's stats page and went to the OU stats, and after clicking, another button appeared which said "(1760)". I clicked it and it was more usage stats, and apparently, they're OU stats, but different. (No Lucario user used Lucarionite, for example)
What does "(1760)" mean?

^the current OU usage stats, right after you scroll all the way down and click on "ou.txt". Maybe you didn't click on that particular file because no button should appear. Also, no lucario user used lucarionite because its banned from OU.

I know that no one used Lucarionite; that's what I said: It's obviously OU because of that.
What I'm asking is what does (1760) mean?

Basically they're the statistics for teams that are high up on the ladder. It's usually a better idea to use the 1760 stats instead of the lower stats, since the low ladder is plagued by people who have no idea what they're doing.
There's a lot of variation. But the most viable one is max Special Defense, max HP, Scald, Toxic, Hypnosis, and Encore. However, max Physical Defense, with Ice Beam and/or Rest, is also viable.
So something like:
Politoed @ Damp Rock
252HP/252SpecDef/4SpecAtt
Drizzle
Calm Nature
Scald
Toxic
Hypnosis
Encore
Thanks! This'll come in handy! ^_^
Edit: Scratch that, I think Ice Beam would be better. Just personal taste

Perish Song is an interesting gimmick if you want to try it.
Also, I like ice beam. And lefties over damp rock unless you're a heavily rain based team since you're only boosting scald anyways.
I'm not sure if I can ask this here or there's a specific thread for this, or I should make one, but I'll ask anyway:
I've been checking the usage stats and trying to see which Pokemon go with which most of the time, and I've come up with three ideas for a team (or teams). I've just gotten the names for the Pokemon and am looking for what roles fit them as I'm not familiar with those, as well as Pokemon that complete the team. Last two Pokemon of each "team" are Pokemon that come together a lot. Here they are:
1) DeoxysD, Bisharp, Aegislash, Landorus, Thundurus, and Keldeo.
2) Gengar, Ferrothorn, Conkeldurr, Rotom-W, and Landorus-T.
3) Talonflame, Greninja, Excadrill, and Tyranitar.
I do realize that reading usage stats for strategy is not the best of ideas, but they do hold some truth in them.

I'm not sure what you mean by a lot of others, but HO stands for Hyper Offense (I've seen the term Heavy Offense used, but Hyper Offense is a much more widespread term).
I don't think so yet, but you could just go to the Showdown Lobby or go to Simple questions simple answers Showdown! edition
It was just posted:

Also Saucy Raichu the showdown lobby is a terrible place to go for pretty much any rational discussion ever
1. Do people think rain will still be viable once the Deos are gone? I mean it's pretty inevitable at this point that at least S will go? Rain is my favorite playstyle, and I just hope it remains viable. This may be too much theorymonning for this thread, but does anyone think maybe Klefki could replace Deoxys-S on Rain teams? It has Spikes instead of SR, priority Rain, and priority Twave.
2. Also again, this may not be the right place, but do people know when the tiers will be fixed on the strategy dex? It still maintains all of the XY tiers (aka Bisharp is UU, Jolteon is OU, etc) and says Moltres' Choice Specs moveset is for OU, when it's really for RU. Also, the Greninja moveset is just wrong, and isn't what the moveset is in the Preliminary Pokedex.

May ones here: sim.smogon.com:8080/Stats/2014-05/
June is said to come out tonight
The question was a bit broad, so I'll try and condense it the best I can.
1) Hazard Setter, Wallbreaker/Physical sweeper, Wallbreaker / Spin blocker, Special Sweeper, Revenge Killer
2) Stallbreaker or special sweeper, mixed wall, bulky attacker, pivot, pivot - Scizor may help to form a VoltTurn core. It may also help to through in an extra wallbreaker or stallbreaker (though I've never used a VoltTurn core, so I can't say for sure).
3) Revenge Killer, Late Game Cleaner, Revenge Killer/Hazard Remover, Hazards or sweeper - Remaining pokes will also depend on Tyranitar's role: if it is a sweeper, you may want a small defensive core using Hippowdon for a balanced approach, otherwise you may want to use some wallbreakers for an HO.
Keep in mind that the roles mentioned are just possible roles; for some of the Pokemon, they can serve different roles using different EV spreads and different moves. The final choice of Pokemon for the second and third team will depend on what roles you assign some of the other Pokemon mentioned.
