Can Tails leak IP?
There's no additional DNS or IP leak protection to secure your location information if there's a security hole or error with an application — something I'd expect from a browser designed to protect my anonymity.

Can I hide my history from ISP?

Why do you need 2 USBs for Tails?
You can also use two USBs to install and run Tails. Using two USBs is to use the Tail installer for incremental updates and create a secure encrypted persistent storage. You can use just one USB drive if you do not need encrypted storage. For this, you need two USB drives of at least 4GB of storage each.
