Yes, both brains have a single identical perspective.

Yes, both would recall identical things.

Only the part about "there are two people", there are two bodies but only one conscious
person in that symmetrical room because if you swap their positions subjectively there
is no difference and objectively there is no difference so it's not much of a jump to
conclude there is no difference between them.
But then there's only one room and one body, per Leibniz's identity of
indiscernibles.
This is similar to Feynman's idea of why all electrons are identical: there is only one
electron which appears multiple because it zig zags back and forth in time as well as
space. Unfortunately we don't know what statistics consciousness obeys.
