Will most damsels school up? I know green chromis will and are a great addition. But what about four yellow damsels? (or some other type)

They will school if you mean beating the crap out of each other and driving each other into and out of rocks.
Short answer, no Damsels don't school like Chromis do. VERY TERRITORIAL>

Actually, this isn't entirely accurate. Damsels will school if they're in a larger group and are well fed. They're technically planktonic feeders, so in the wild they eat all the time. If you can feed a little cyclopeeze or something like that several times a day, 7 or more of most of the milder damsels types would school.

Yea, from my little experience with them in the past I would guess that if I had to.
Will two kinds of chromis school? Like two orange line cromis school with two green chromis?

Probably not. The reason most fish school in the wild is to confuse predators with a large mass of the same colors.
