Is a restore required for jailbreaking? Or if I have an iPhone at 4.0.1 and 4.0.1 already, can I just run limera1n and jailbreakme and have it jailbreak it just like that?

Yes, once you have jailbroke your device, to jailbreak again , you have to do a restore again.

Ah ok, so only on previously jailbroken phones?

the two phones are both my brothers phones, so they are not jailbroken. Just wanted to make sure I didnt have to sync their phones and restore them both with my pc before I jailbroke them.

If it is not jailbroken, then you can jailbreak right away.
