Should we light two lamps and keep them outside during the entire month of Karitigai? Should we light up additional lamps apart from regular two lamps lit before the first day before Pancharathra deepam? Is this appropriate as per the scriptures? Annamalai deepam also occurs on the same day. Should we light up many lamps the next day of Kartigai deepam?

There is a practice of lighting up two lamps which are kept outside during the entire month of Kartigai.
The day before Pancharathra deepam is called Bharani deepam. On that day and the subsequent day of Pancharathra deepam more than two lamps are lit as per the practice. So, there is nothing wrong with this.
