That will mostly work, but is not technically valid KML. You would be best to put a <Folder> either instead of the <Document> or just inside it. A <Document> is only meant to directly contain one feature.
As for icons, one of the easiest way is to try playing in Google Earth, and then viewing the resultant KML. - A tip is to get your placemakr as you want it, then right click and select Copy, and the just paste the KML direct into a text editor.
