SPDIF is a digital audio interface and is designed to transfer audio from one device to another without converting the signal to analog. Eventually, the signal will become analog as the speakers require an analog signal. to work.
Almost all audio devices that have a SPDIF output also have an analog output so rather than buying a SPDIF to analog converter, use an existing analog output. If the device with the digital output doesn't have an analog output, then you don't have much choice about buying a converter unit. The converter is an active device so don't expect to find a simple converter cable. They don't cost a lot and they can be obtained from many specialist electronics stores. Good starting points are Radio Shack in the US or Maplin in the UK

Can you purcchase a cable that would have SPDIF plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other?
It's not straightforward to convert between SPDIF and a stereo pair of RCA plugs. SPDIF is a digital standard (SPDIF is an acronym for Sony Philips Digital Interface) and a pair of RCA plugs is analogue. It is possible to buy adaptors that convert from one to the other; if you search for SPDIF to analogue (or analog) convertor with google, you'll find a selection.

Do 3.5 mm to split RCA adapters work in reverse --Just in general to convert sound from RCA back to headphones as well?
Yes. RCA is just Signal+Ground carried separately for Left and Right - stereo jacks carry them both on the same connector, with common Ground between them. Do keep in mind which connector you wish to use on the jack end -- RCA connectors are always male-to-male, but jack cables are of the male-to-female persuasion.
