From what I've found, if it is a domestic 121 flight, the standard 1,2,3 rule works to determine if an alternate is needed. Does this apply for regional airlines like Colgan or Eagle?
Yes.
And for the alternate, should the "Add 400 and 1 SM Vis if 1 Nav aid" or "Add 200 and 1/2 SM Vis if 2 Navs" be used?
You're thinking of derived minimums...just wait until you start looking at Exemption 3585; that's a whole 'nother ball of wax...
