Looking to convert a single sink vanity to a double sink. Is it ok to install a T fitting at the hot and cold lines and use those for my second sink? Or do I have to run a new set of hot and cold water lines for the 2nd sink? Also same question for the drain line. Does he sink need its own drain line or can I tie them both into the same drain line?

Should be able to T off without issue.

Install Double Bowl Sink Vanity w/ Only One Wall Water Pipe Connection & Drain Pipe Using PVC
I guess the only thing you would have to worry about is draining both at the same time IF they are being used at the same time.

I'm not sure about plumbing code, but a T fitting for dishwasher and ice machine is extremely common for supply lines.
Most double kitchen sinks have a T for the drain line.
DON"T use that flexible pipe crap.
ETA: I'm talking about this. Downvote away, but no real plumber would ever use this and if you pay someone to do a job that uses this you should fire them. There's better methods that are firm smooth pipe. But most importantly the corrugated pipe will trap debris and cause you to get blockages. Blockages happen with smooth pipe, throw in debris traps and what do you think will happen?

You can absolutely turn a single vanity into a double. There are multiple options with the water lines. Is copper stubbed out of your wall? Pex? If copper is present-you can remove the individual shutoffs and install a dual outlet 3/8x1/2 compression shut off valve; or you can sweat a tee on the bull of the fitting and install individual lines and shutoffs to each vanity. If there is pex-do as described above and install tee.
The drain is simple-remove old trap adapter and install a wye fitting. Run individual drain lines to each one with the proper pitch.

My double vanity in the master is set up just like this. Hot and cold lines with a T fitting to supply the first sink. Both 2 inch drain lines go into the wall and connect at a Y near the floor level before going down to connect to the larger 4 inch line, that the toilet and shower also feed into.

You can T off. It will have the same pressure as if you ran another line for the other sink. If both sinks are in use at the same time your pressure will drop somewhat

The drain is no different than everyone's double sinks in their kitchens
