Nah feed them seperate. If you’re setting up compounds you can feed them from the front of each head to make the lines shorter and look nicer.

In my opinion I wouldnt unless I was sure that it would be able to supply enough oil my concern would be that if using a t that one turbo would get more oil than the other starving the other because a fluid takes the path of least resistance and I don't know if there is any oil back pressure in the turbo

I have not run twins/compounds on an IDI. But on all other applications we run separate lines/sources. Also try to make sure that they have separate drains. A merged drain is a bad thing as well.

my drains are plumbed separately, but both return through mechanical pump location.
on the new engine im building, they will both have drains in opposite sides of the oil pan.

I think that will be a better route going to the pan then trying to share a drain.

On my compounds I’m going to set a bulkhead in the passenger side valve cover for the atmospheric turbo and the manifold charger will return like stock
