can a datastore be on two machines?
Can a datastore be attached to 2 vm's? I have a datastore that i want to transfer to a Win 2012 server from a 2003 server. I want to do this with no interruption to users. Can I attach it to a second machine, redo the mapping and then shut down the 2003 machine?

Yes.
Yes you can, but there will be service interruption, because you will need to re-do the Server Mapping, and the server will have a new name!
Yes, there is no reason why a VM cannot access one or more datastores.
You may have a slow and fast datastore e.g. for SQL DB and Logs.
Perfectly acceptable.
