Is it possible to enable Magic SEO URL for 2 different domains/URIs (one for HTTP traffic and one for HTTPS traffic)?

Yes, it is.

Why is the number included after each category name, product name or thread in URI?

It allows you to make well-structured URI for web crawlers and also allows the deletion of the last "directory" or "file" by customer/visitor and allows a continue in browsing without reaching HTTP 404/Not Found.
For example, in the case of Magic SEO URL for ZenCart, when a customer deletes the last category in the following URI: http://www.magic-seo-url.com/demo/zencart/hardware-1/graphics-cards-4/ the new URI will be http://www.magic-seo-url.com/demo/zencart/hardware-1/ everything works seamlessly.
