How can I view PDF at two-pages and in the right-to-left order?
Acrobat can do this but Preview is more responsive.

When you have a file that you want to print as a PDF, go to "Print.." (Command ⌘ + P) and select "PDF" in the left hand corner:
Then select "Save as PDF...":
Then, you'll be presented with a save dialog:
Using this method, you shouldn't need to have a printer installed.
From the Print dialogue choose the PDF button, Open PDF in Preview.
The temporary copy seems just to vanish when closed, as you would want; and it has the same name and location as the original. If you markup the new copy, it creates a duplicate with new name and you choose to save or not.

Best Answer
Preview cannot do this.
You can manually rearrange each two-page layout in the sidebar, but this is time consuming.
If you don't care about the exact layout, you can add a blank page to the PDF in Preview (Edit > Insert > Blank Page) before the first page. This will shift the right page into left spot of the next two-page spread. This does break right-to-left formats, like manga.
There may be other apps that can accomplish this for you. Like you said, you can do it with Adobe Acrobat, and this is likely how you'll have to do it.
