I've read different sources telling me different things. If I buy a retail, physical version of Bayonetta 2, will it come with Bayonetta still? Or will I have to buy them separately?
You get them in a pack, I'm not sure if it's still available. Bayo1 has case separate from Bayo2's. So basically, if it doesn't look like this, then it doesn't include Bayo1.
Should say on the top-right of the case 'Bonus Bayonetta Game Included.' I believe the only instance where it wouldn't be included is if you get it used and the seller removed the first game from the case, though the seller would mention that.

They're still both packaged if you buy them new, AFAIK. I haven't seen a stand-alone Bayonetta 2 in any of the local stores or heard that Platinum Games is doing it.
