Can two people play different games on the same Steam account?

No, two people cannot play different games simultaneously on the same Steam account because only one user can be logged in and playing at a time; however, Steam Family Sharing (or the new Steam Families feature) lets one person play while another borrows games from their library, but if they try to play the same shared game at the same time, the primary owner gets priority and the borrower is kicked out, so for simultaneous different game play, separate accounts are best, though Family Sharing allows one person to play their own game while another plays a shared one.

How much does a Steam account cost?

A Steam account itself is free to create, but its "price" depends on the value of its game library, in-game items (like rare skins), playtime, level, and community status; you can estimate your library's value using tools like SteamDB, while some sites offer sales for accounts with desirable traits, though buying/selling accounts is against Steam's TOS. A minimum $5 spend unlocks full features, and higher-level accounts or those with valuable items sell for more.
