Mr Grumpy
Here's my two cents.

To test a transformer for leakage just plug into a functioning GFI outlet. That would protect you.

And sizing a transformer- they are rated in VA thats volt amps. Kinda like watts only slightly down rated.

On using two identical power transformers connected back to back- the total power would be shared between all the windings. Just be sure to check that the voltages match and all the windings are all in phase.

Sorry if I state the obvious.
Happy sparking everyone
