Yes to the brakes. Surge or electric are both fine. Why get brakes?
1. Better panic stopping performance. **** happens.
2. Very likely legally required once you add together the weight of the trailer and the weight of the load on it.
3. Breakaways are rare, but brakes (with a breakaway cable properly installed) can prevent a far more serious accident from occurring should it happen, and also save your trailer and its load.
Single vs. dual axle is a common debate topic on trailer forums, with no real consensus. Assuming the axle setup is good for the load plus some, and so are the tires, it comes down to personal preference. There are advantages and disadvantages either way.
