I wouldn't worry too much about hopping from job 1 to job 2 if you feel that job 2 is where you want to really be. Otherwise you may be playing "what could have been" scenarios over and over in your head.
Look...its not like employers always have your best interests at the top of their minds these days. Your responsibility is to take care of yourself and your family first and foremost.
Job 1 is likely to do one of two things...they'll tell you to pack up and get out or they might even make you a more lucrative offer to stay.
As to severance most companies have a standard policy (2 weeks to 1 month severance/separation pay for every year worked, etc) that is pretty much evenly applied to all employees. So unless you are negotiating a severance type payment as part of a larger employment contract my guess is that this will be tough. If it is part of a larger employment contract let me know and I can give you a few tips having lived under employment agreements for 20 years.
