Yes. Minecraft doesn't have controller support right now, but there are many programs that allow you to play with controllers on non-gamepad games. One example would be Xpadder.
Yes, provided you have two controllers and a game with two-player or coop play ability.
Well there are many styles of controllers ranging from guitars to regular controllers. But without one of these types of controllers no you can not play.
Make sure you have two controllers, then open a previous or new world, when it is done loading it should say, "PRESS START TO JOIN", that means you second player! NOTE: (You may need to have two Xbox Live accounts or guest for the second player)
Just have two controllers on and start the world with the first player. Then have the second player press Start until a menu pops up asking for the user. Once that is complete, the two of you can now play in the same world, together.
