    Under some circumstances a large enough body of water can have two or more outlets but they wouldn't be permanent unles there was a whole lot of water coming into the body. But I agree with euio, generally stick to one outlet without a very good reason and the rivers need more bends and probably a delta too. You might also want to place the mountains before you place water since they will have a lot of influence on where and how it flows.

    Theres lots of tutorials on here about rivers. There's also the River Police which pull people over for blatant non physical river systems Your right, under very temporary conditions a lake may overflow and have two outlets but I bet you could not find a real world map with one on it at the kind of scale you are suggesting. You can have a magical lake etc but its not something that you see a real lake do.
