what kind of volume can this filter and in what period of time? for an emergency, would this work for a small family for cooking/drinking purposes?

Look for the survivor filter PRO. They use a .01 (not 0.1) microns final filter over regular 0.1 filter, which is way better than Katadyn.

How many gallons can it filter per filter?

The ceramic prefilter protects the fiber filter from very cloudy water. The ceramic filter can be removed and scrubbed clean to be reused again. Replacements of these filters within the unit are available. Your original question was how many gallons can you filter before replacement. I don't have a good answer for that because I have not replaced our original filters yet. See this video. http://youtu.be/pUgLc3unrBU

does it filter chlorine?

The carbon filter may remove some taste of chlorine, but will not eliminate it in the water. Please refer to http://www.katadyn.com/usen/katadyn-products/products/katadynshopconnect/katadyn-water-filters/

Does this come with the second hose or do you have to use it with a water bottle?

It does come with a second hose to throw into the river.
