Training for my first Duathlon, shorts!

I live in MN and have been running for about 2 years now. I completed my first marathon in October and now would like something different. I've purchase a new bike, Specialized Secteur sport disc. I've only been able to use it on a trainer; I purchased a pair of Canari Gel. Today I ran 3 miles with leggings since it was around 30 outside. Got home, put the Canari's on over the leggings and rode for an hour. My questions are:
1. Are you suppose to wear anything under the short, like a base layer? I ask because it really seems like I was much more comfortable wear the base layer, leggings and Canari vs. just wearing the Canari alone.
2. In preparing for the Duathlon, should I be running in the bike shorts?

That's it for now, but I know I'll have more questions.

Thanks, Bill
