I am new to VOIP and have just set up a Linksys PPS2T with Vopidiscount.
I have set up both lines with the same account details and both are
working. Just wondering if the SIP Ports for each line need to be
different at the moment I have them both set to 5060?

the Linksys to determine line is being called, but, if the ITSP will
support ports other than 5060, neither should be set to anything
remotely related to 5060, unless you like being called by toll
fraudsters at all hours.

The same way as the ITSP does, for incoming calls.
Actually, if he's relying on dynamic NAT, the calls may not be being
sourced from 5060 anyway, although, in that case, various workarounds
will need to be in place, as SIP and SDP expect the port numbers used in
the requests to the ones to actually send to.
If this weren't a real problem, there would not be so much traffic about
using fail2ban with Asterisk.

calls only. Could someone still dial into it? If so I will just leave
the phone on silent!

It's generally difficult to stop adapters registering themselves, as the
default use case incoming calls, and they may not have an option to
prevent registration. Some SIP services won't accept calls from devices
that aren't registered, although that is not a requirement of SIP (even
though many users seem to think that registration is a logon, that is
needed before making outgoing calls).
