If there’s only 2 names on the first ballot (nobody else having gotten 8 states), why would there be a second ballot? Does the exact wording of the rules require an majority of votes (ignoring disqualified “none of the above” votes), or a vote count equal to a majority of delegates regardless of how many cast a valid vote?

Yes.
