    This all depends on your goals.

    Well to gain more muscle you may need to start working out more than twice a week.
    Not sure how long you've been doing the same workout routine, but that may need to change as well. For various workout tips try bodybuilding.com

    Sure, you can gain some muscle. Looking at your diary, you are probably eating enough.

    The full body 3 days a week with a focus on compound lifts would be the way to go. Any cardio you do should be moderate and on non lifting days.

    You are in no danger of looking like a guy from a bodybuilding magazine. That would take about 5 years of intense lifting, eating like a horse, and pharmacological aid.

    from experience 2 days a week is a start, but not enough to generate a myofribular or sarcoplasmic hypertrophy response. And it is impossible to look like the bodybuilders you see on the magazines without the use of steroids.
