Q2 Should be No: "A region is a geographical area on the planet containing at least one, but potentially multiple datacenters that are nearby and networked together with a low-latency network".

Q2 is unfortunately YES Per the definition :
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/availability-zones/az-overview
Regions
Each Azure region features datacenters deployed within a latency-defined perimeter. They're connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network. This design ensures that Azure services within any region offer the best possible performance and security.
A set of datacenters deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network.
In practice it may not be the case and some very small regions may have only one DC, but the definition excludes this pratical case. So lets assume the mainstream answer.

A region is a set of datacenters as per:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/availability-zones/az-overview#regions
A region has a minimum of 3 Availability Zones and an Availability zone has one or multiple datacenters

Don't see how
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/geographies/#overview
This map shows that the Azure regions with and without availability zones, some regions don't have availability zones, so they can't have multiple datacenters when the requirement for a availability zones is at min, two datacenters.

Q2 - Yes
An Azure region contains 1 or more availability zones, and an availability zone contains 1 or more datacenters. Thus, there is definitely multiple datacenters in a single Azure region.
The most upvoted answer by hercu is wrong. please stop confusing people.
Here is a link to the diagram explanation of what I just said.

How can a REGION have just 1 Data Center when a REGION have Multiple ZONES and ZONES are expected to have multiple DATA CENTRES.
A Region will most likely have at least 2 (Multi) Data Centers even if it doesn't have multiple Availability Zones.
1 Data Centre cannot make up a Region.

Do not confuse between Region and Availability zone.
Region A set of datacenters deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network.
Availability Zone Unique physical locations within a region. Each zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.

North America is a continent consisting multiple Azure regions. So first answer is Yes
Q2 Explanatiion:
“Simply put, an Azure Region is a set of Datacenters that are connected through a dedicated low-latency network. How many datacenters does a region contain. Well, we do not have a fixed number. It varies. There are regions of different sizes. A Region could be made up of just 1 dataceneter or multiple datacenters. The point is, an Azure Region is a group of one or more Azure Datacenters.” References: https://www.pragimtech.com/blog/azure/azure-regions-and-paired-regions/
