I use multiple devices, will it be possible to have two installs synced together? For some reason I had some difficulty with this on Status.

Yes, use the same recovery phrase. I wouldn't recommend making transactions simultaneously on multiple devices though.
Why? They would be separate transactions on Blockchain
Ethereum is different from Bitcoin in that it uses simple account balances, which are easier to deal with in smart contracts. To prevent replay attacks, each account has a nonce, which is included in the transaction.

You can check the blockchain for the current nonce of an account, but if you sent from the same account simultaneously from two devices, both transactions would get the same nonce and one would fail.

That is correct! Thanks for explaining!
