Answer 1

You may want to look into: $this->One->saveAll($this->request->data)

Answer 2

You Just Set Following Code to Your Controller
OnesControllers.php
public function add() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->One->create();
}
if (!empty($this->request->data)) {
// We can save the User data:
// it should be in $this->request->data['User']
$one = $this->One->save($this->request->data);
// If the user was saved, Now we add this information to the data
// and save the Profile.
if (!empty($one)) {
// The ID of the newly created user has been set
// as $this->User->id.
$this->request->data['Two']['two_one_id'] = $this->One->id;
// Because our User hasOne Profile, we can access
// the Profile model through the User model:
$this->One->Two->save($this->request->data);
}
}
And Set This in Your View
view/one/add.ctp
<div class="ones form">
<?php echo $this->Form->create('One'); ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo __('Add One'); ?></legend>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('name',array('rows' => '10'));
echo $this->Form->create('Two');
echo $this->Form->input('sname');
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit')); ?>
</div>
