No.  In order for you to recertify you need to either take (and pass) 
both exams of LPIC-2 before your LPIC-1 lapses or redo your LPIC-1 
exams.  You may be confusing the recertification policy and the expiry 
of "single exams".

No.  As someone else has indicated Canonical is making their own stand 
alone certification.
