It depends on how the molecules are defined in the topology file. If the coordinates of both molecules are contained in the main part of the topology file, only one position restraint file is enough and it should contain entries for all the non-hydrogen atoms in both molecules.

It seems difficult to use RMSD as the reaction coordinate to do umbrella sampling simulations. Maybe you can try meta-dynamics in which you can use RMSD as a collective to get the free energy. It is implemented in a modified version of gromacs (GROMETA), or you can use PLUMED together with curr
