Does 1 even make sense and have the same meaning like the one below?

#1 would be understood, but isn't really grammatical.

You need these two red pieces of this type has a different problem. The problem here is that it is redundant to say these two red pieces with of this type. It would be better to say either You need these two red pieces or You need two red pieces of this

Not quite. You could say
