Are there any phones that ship with it?

It only works on google pixels, there are some second hand vendors that flash it for you, but its trivial to install for yourself.

Can I run both Android and GrapheneOS?

I don't think dual boot is possible with phones.

Is GrapheneOS the first one to do that? What's special?

LineageOS, launched in 2016, is a direct fork of CyanogenMod and is known for its stability, security, and customizability.

CalyxOS, launched in 2018, and GrapheneOS, launched in 2019, both are a privacy-focused ROM that provides a more secure and private version of Android.

GrapheneOS started in 2014 and was previously called CopperheadOS due to a sponsorship by an abusive, malicious company. GrapheneOS is a continuation from the original team and the product with the older name is now a low-effort proprietary fork. Original CopperheadOS is GrapheneOS.
