Does anyone know if the Ubuntu 24.04 installer will take care of creating
the mount point on the second drive for /home and put the OS on the first
drive? Or, do I have to install the OS on the first drive first, then
format the second drive and make the mount point myself?
You don't have to format your /home directory, you should just adjust
the /etc/fstab to point at your old home partition.

Ctrl+Alt+Fn +any function key does not give me a CLI on the old system.
Since I am installing Ubuntu on one drive and /home/mark on another drive,
I don't think I need LVM, either.

This is good advice.
take advantage of its features
Among these, I'd specifically include
* altering the size of your filesystems
* integrating new disks into your filesystems
* snapshot-based backups
If you have local disk capacity far beyond what you currently need,
LVM would provide a handy way to right-size your current filesystems
while giving yourself a lot of flexibility for future expansion.
