put \usepackage{multicols} in your praeambel; with \begin{multicols}{2}
in ERT you can switch to the two column-layout.
At the end of your document put an \end{multicols}.

put \thispagestyle{empty} in RET on the first page (with the TOC). With
\setcounter{page}{0} in RET you can reset the pagenumber to zero.
Have a look to the short lyx-example-file. There a the commands above a
little bit enhanced with the possibility to change the
columnseparator-width.
I hope this helps
