2 devices log to same PIX syslog server?

Yes, you should be able to without trouble. Just specify the same logging host on both devices. I use Kiwi Syslogger and I pull syslog messages from a router and a PIX. Each syslog entry includes a source hostname anyway, so it's fairly easy to distinguish between the two hosts.

absolutely. Read up on using faculities (7 used) and local level (0-7)setting. You can configure the syslog server, in my case a Linux box, to have several directories and each one get certain device syslog messages.
Facilities can be considered pipes and direct the flow of the messages and the local level determines what messages will be sent.
You tell the device which pipe and level of message to send and on the syslog server, normally in /etc/syslog.conf, you will direct that pipe and message to a certain directory
