To actually answer your questions
You are correct about the jaces
You can keep both but it is a flavor fail.

Quick note: you don't sacrifice permanents due to either rule: They just go to the graveyard. And yes, it would trigger Morbid, because "dies" is a shorter way of saying "put into the graveyard from the battlefield."

There are technically two rules here
-Legendary rule. This applies to permanents. If you control two legendary permanents with the same name then you must put one into the graveyard as a statebased action. This is not sacing it and will not trigger abilities.
-Planeswalker Uniqueness: If you control two planeswalkers with the same subtype you must put one into the graveyard as a statebased action.
TL;DR: Planeswalkers check their subtypes and Permanents check their name.
