1. As has been stated, and as you thought, the way to do this is to have a static chart that is set to Daily, set the SMA on this chart, and then use Study/Price Overlay to view this Daily SMA on your other charts. Also, as stated, if you are not going to be looking at the daily chart, you can hide it.

2. As you already determined, the only way to get more than 1 SMA is to add additional copies of the study. If you want them to be based on different timeframes, but viewed on a particular chart, then you would need to use the concept from #1 above, to have a chart set to the timeframe you want and the SMA for it, then use Study/Price Overlay to view the data on the chart you want.

Just for completeness, the Study/Price Overlay documentation is here:

And here is information on how to Hide a chart:
