Is there a legal requirement for the driver to drive with high-beams on, so that there are two headlights illuminated?

No! Driving with the brights on [when near other vehicles] is a California Vehicle Code violation. Additionally, 24252 CVC states all lighting should be in good working order, thus, a burnt out headlight, taillight, etc. is grounds for a citation.

Have you ever "run a plate" and had the information come back to you that says, in essence, don't pull-over or ticket or arrest this driver? Other than diplomatic plates, does such a thing exist?

Not really. The main information we receive is linked to the DMV. If the vehicle has a want/criminal association attached to it (…
which would’ve been entered by a law enforcement agency), that information will appear as well.
