Do you have a two-port video card?
If so, you should just need the correct adapters to hook them up to
your monitors.
If not, you will either need a different video card or a PCI video card.
If you connect two monitors and boot, you should see the option to
arrange the monitors in the control panel.

Nope, just either two compatible video cards or one card with two video outputs.
Mac OS all the way back to OS 6 supported multiple monitors.

Earlier than that. The Mac II and SE running System 3 did it from the beginning. And there were add on video schemes for the Plus that supported dual displays, however I don't know how much if any the OS was patched to support this.
There was a full page display for the Plus and a color display that plugged connected via the SCSI port. It used Quickdraw I which supported 8 colors.
