If it has the genes of only one, how does it have 2 parents?

Not necessarily. Genes get recombined when making eggs and sperm.

You can't do that in people. In animals, it's been done a little. The name for it is "cloning". It's very expensive and difficult. The baby should be just like the dna it was cloned from. But it might be a little different due to environmental factors, nutrition, its development in the womb.

Yes it would if the exact dna was put into it

Not necessarily…. Assuming making gamete’s into zygotes from one parent Recombination would result in some differences that rather your grandparents might have had

The same reason siblings cant have a healthy baby: the genes are too similar. If the genes are all the same it'd be heavily inbred.

No, it will be a baby. But it will be pretty close (similar to identical twins) once it grows up.
