Your first question is, whether a 35mm is a good second lens. The answer is clearly yes, just like you made the justification (indoor + low light).

So, in theory, on a crop sensor you should be much wider than 35mm, somewhere around 25mm on a Canon or 28mm on Nikon (or other ...

Yes, the nifty fifty for a crop frame would be closer to the 35 prime, but ultimately the order of the day is still choose the lens you need for the shot you want. If you wanted a telephoto shot, then a 50mm wouldn't be the right choice for any sensor size. If you want 50mm effective, then a 35mm prime will give it to you on the crop sensor.
