So, for a journey priced at €29 for one person, two people booked together would pay €49 (€29+€20) not €58 (€29+€29). This could easily 'look like' a BC25 discount, but is not. If the first pax has a BC25, they get the discount, and I think if additional pax have BC25s, their incremental prices get discounted as well. However, I haven't played around with bahn.de booking engine in detail to test all of this...
Yep, but in my understanding, you'll receive the 25% discount on the total ticket price, including the supplement for additional pax. As I said, I'm not entirely sure about it, but it most certainly only applies to Sparpreis. The entire thing was much clearer back in the times of Sparpreis 25/50 where you'd definitely have received the discount for everybody travelling on the same ticket.
