grammaticality - Can a sentence have two verbs of same type - for example "is"?

It can, although the two instances in your example are not exactly of the same type. The first is is a form of the function verb be, (it forms the present progressive of do), and the second is a form of the lexical verb be (here a verb in its own right).
