Parking brake 'efficiency' is only needed to hold the car on a slope so it sounds OK. If not just give it a bit more of adjustment. If you can find a 1/16 slope and after applying the Parking Brake the car stays still then it's a Pass.
Yes you should do each wheel separately. I used to stop the other wheel from rotating by chocking it with something, or leaving that one on the ground.
