One of them might gave been intercepted.
They might not have many missiles and that target might not have been worth two of them. I suspect amphibious ships have highest priority.
One hit is a mission kill and the vessel is likely to be out of the war which is the important thing.
All sorts of possible reasons.
Yes, of course!

At Pearl Harbor the Japanese put five torpedoes into the Oklahoma, and six torpedoes, plus two bombs, into West Virginia. Had they used just one torpedo, or bomb, on the USS Neosho, the only fast fleet oiler at Pearl Harbor, its loss would have crippled for months the US Navy's ability to use its remaining ships across the expanse of the Pacific.
