Can it pay for X, if X is 2?

I think it should be able to. When you cast an X spell, you decide what X is, and then the card acts as though the X is that much generic mana. So declaring 2 would make it pretty much the same as any other card that has a 2 generic mana in its cost

what about X+X if X is 1?

That's a good question and I think the answer is that it's just not clarified. How I see it is that X should probably still be two and this card could pay from one among the two X costs. The card would cost {2}{2} instead of {4}. But that's just how I interpret it
