If I write for two pianos and I want them to tuned a quarter tone apart, can I set the tuning appropriately? If Piano I is at A440, what should Piano II be? And will it play back?

I believe since the ratio for quarter tones is 1.0293, the tuning for the second piano is either 452.39 or 427.47 (depending if you're going higher or lower.
I don't think Finale can play quarter tones as is. There's probably some sound library out there that can do it.
I know that https://noteperformer.com will allow you to change your tuning. I don't if it will let you have 2 tuning systems at once. You can get a free trial at the site so it might be worth checking out.

since you only want two instruments tuned 1/4 tone apart, simply load two pianos, and retune one of them in the Aria player.
yes, Finale can do this.

For one of the pianos, you can use an expression and in Playback -> Type -> Pitch wheel with the appropriate value.
