If you consider all of that to be one duty, then yes. I would word it:

My main duties are to analyse data to identify system errors, and then to correct those errors.

Does your sentence consider them to be two (or more) duties?

Yes, which is why ems used the plural form.

in this case, should I consider all of that to be one duty or two duties?

You can decide for yourself.
