> 1. You most likely can't. You typically need to prove to a numbering authority that you need that many IPs (minimum /24) for X reason and you will be multihomed (connected to two+ ISPs) by Y date.
If you're asking for a minimum sized range, you don't have to justify more than one ip. It's not super hard to find somewhere where you can be multihomed either, although it's unlikely to be at your home. (Maybe ask isn't exactly the right verb, assuming ARIN/RIPE are out of addresses, you're asking for them to process a transfer that you paid/will pay the current responsible party for)
