Can I cook fewer eggs?

Absolutely, Just keep that 1 cup water amount the same whether you're doing 2 eggs or 12. The steam needs that liquid to work its magic.

Two words: peel perfectio. The shock of cold water stops the cooking immediately and loosens the membrane so shells slide right off. Don't skip this - it's the secret to no-fuss peeling.

Can I double the batch?

You bet - as long as your Instant Pot can fit all the eggs in one layer without stacking. My 6-quart handles about a dozen large eggs perfectly.
