Can I trash just 1 card in my hand for this card's [Opponent's Turn] effect?

No, you can't. A "by" condition can't be met if only some of the required actions are performed. The conditions for this [Opponent's Turn] effect require you to trash 2 cards in your hand.

Q2 Q5066
What does "effects don't affect" mean, exactly?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
This effect prevents a card from being affected by effects. For example, your Digimon won't suspend if it's chosen for a "suspend 1 of your opponent's Digimon" effect, and its DP won't be reduced by 3000 if it's chosen for a "1 of your opponent's Digimon gets -3000 DP" effect.

Yes, it can. It won't be affected by it, but it can be given an effect. However, if an effect such as <Security A.> is given to a Digimon that isn't affected by effects, the Digimon won't be considered to have that effect.
