I've 2 servers with each having named instance of sql server 2005, need to check if I can get the two nodes clustered and then can I run both the instances on the 2 node cluster?

Not sure if you can turn 2 separate servers into a cluster from a Windows level. But from a SQL level you need to install SQL on top of the cluster and then you can certainly have 2 named instances within it

Yes. You can run both on a single cluster. You need to have each SQL Installs on separate Cluster Disk.

You need to build the Windows cluster first. Then you install SQL Server in cluster mode.
If you now have two servers that are not in a Windows cluster, the first step is to reinstall Windows.
If you have two SQL instances on a Windows cluster and SQL is not clustered, the first step is to uninstall SQL and reinstall it in cluster mode.
