Hi,
I have been doing my link building and have already done one 301 redirect to my domain. Today i found another domain which is good and fully relevant to my niche. I am willing to redirect it to my domain. Is it safe to use two redirect to a domain?

Your thoughts? Please advice

There is no general number that's safe, but two is fine. I certainly wouldn't use a dozen. Depends a bit on the age of your site, the size, where you redirect the domain to (hompage, individual article, category).
 
Technically, there is no limit as to your number of 301 redirects but doing too many may drag your server. So better keep your redirects to a minimum.

The expired domain i got in fully relevant to my website and i am doing normal domain level 301 redirect to my HOME page without any hosting. Is that fine? or should i host it, Install wordpress and redirect to individual pages or do it via .htaccess file? I am really confused. Any advice will really help a lot.

2, max 3 to be on the safe side. Several people complained for manual penalties for 5+ redirects. You can do straight from registrar to the home, if you do not care to hide the redirect from tools (ahrefs, majestic etc).
