Do people have to take TWO pictures at the same angle in order to photoshop things out? How do they know what the background looks like?

They make it up. If the background is a somewhat predictable texture like a white wall, a blue sky or the sand on the beach they literally copy paste bits of the visible background, otherwise they have to actually draw it either by copying from other pictures (from the same set or not) or using other techniques.
