You'll need two licenses. In other words, it's not worth doing unless you know you need it

I would install a cheap vst host like Energy XT and just run midi and audio between the machines.

I second that. I have 2 computers (1 laptop, one rackmount) and I use energy XT on 1, ableton on the laptop. I'm trying to achieve a slightly different goal than you, but ultimately I'd recommend using ext on the second machine.

What about linking up two laptops, say for instance, my MacBook and my friends MacBook Pro, both running 5.2?

It's 100% possible and works well.

Try searching the forum, this has been covered extensively. I know I have explained it 4 or 5 times myself.
