From the API:

A HorizontalScrollView is a FrameLayout, meaning you should place one child in it containing the entire contents to scroll; this child may itself be a layout manager with a complex hierarchy of objects.

Yes. Make sure the two (scroll and list) scroll in different directions, otherwise it gets confusing as to which is moving. Also, to see the horizontal scroll view, you will need to make the elements in the list view wider than the screen.

My guess is you want something else. Can you explain exactly what you want to do?

You need columns and you need rows? Sounds like you need a GridView.

See:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/gridview.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridView.html

The documentation and the guide both give you the answer to that question.

The API for ListView is here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ListView.html
The first sentence in the description gives you the answer.
