You must use two DB9, one going to each chauvet. You cannot daisy chain the chauvet because the DB9 connection is straight through.

Yes in the initialization (initOutlets), you want it 0. Basically driving port pin low will turn off the outlet, driving it high will turn it on. So yes in Utils.ino routine that prints the status of the ports, it will be a direct read (no need to invert) to show if the port is on or off. and same for isOutletOn function.
