Is this based on a specific Van Gogh painting?

No — it's post-Impressionist oil in his manner, with thick swirling impasto and short layered strokes, rather than a recreation of any one work.

Will the heavy brushwork still look like the person?

Yes. Proportions stay realistic and the strokes shape hair and skin rather than distorting the face.

Can two people be in it?

Yes, this style accepts more than one subject.
