Seems like a weird design. Is the intention you use both of the lower fixing holes?
For dry wall one fixing in the top and one in the bottom would be better. Duoplugs might do the job but I would lean towards a mechanical fixing myself.

That seems very unlikely to me. Reckon it's alternate spacing for some reason.
Being fixed on each side of the rail means there's no force pulling the fixings away from the wall. They only have to cope with the vertical component, so shouldn't need to be as strong as you'd need for shelves etc.

Plasterboard fixings. Something I don't know a lot about, I've used Gripits a few times before, but I have a feeling they're not ideal for these rail brackets I need to put up in an alcove cupboard, with the two screw holes close together.
I have some Fischer duo-power plus already which I believe can be used that way. One side is an external wall but seems to be boarded, the other a very hollow sounding partition to the stairwell.
The rail will be for kiddy clothes so not massively heavy.
