How can I create the views pager on top and bottom of the view?
I think you are on the right track by editing the views template files. Do you know you can have a different template for each view, or each views display? When you are editing your view there is a link called "theme information" that will help you figure out how to name the templates.

Now, If you mean you need to have the pager in different places on page 1 of this display vs page 2 of the same display, you will have to dig inside the view object to figure out which page you're on in order to figure that out.

I also found this tutorial while Googling the answer:
