I'd recommend a docsis 3.1 modem. I think the CM1000, CM1100, CM1200, CM2000 are all compatible with spectrum and capable of gigabit. If you don't need to hit gig speeds, then you can look at the lower models.
2) I have one extender Orbi in my house off the main router. Can I add another to another room?--yes you can. You can have up to 6 satellites.
