The original 100Mbps required 4 pairs but modern 100Mbit runs on just two.

You can get splitters that route the two ethernet pairs Green and Orange to
one socket and then route the Blue and Brown pairs to what should be the
Green and Orange pairs on the second socket. They enable you to run two
physically separate ethernet connections over a single CAT5 cable but my
recommendation would be to use a small hub as they are so cheap nowadays
that the cost will only be slightly higher than two of the splitters and you
can then have 4 or 5 ethernet devices at that location.

> 1) do these things really work (for 100megabit)?

'fraid not. You can get 10Mbps as the spec for this requires only two wire
pairs, but the 100Mbps spec requires all four pairs.
