If I use Windows XP Pro's backup utility to create a complete backup,
can I then configure 2 SATA drives as RAID 0 and restore the image to
that? Or will I have to completely reinstall everything after setting
up the RAID 0?

One might ask, first, why you are considering Raid 0, which has zero fault
tolerance - damage to one drive instantly loses everything - for the system
drive?
You may be seeking a performance gain, but in case of any failure, the
performance drops to "none" and stays there until you rebuild the system.
Is this a tradeoff you are willing to accept?
Note that ntbackup can only create a complete, bootable system backup using
ASR, and that this *requires* a floppy drive and disk (many modern systems
don't have floppy drives), and that it cannot write to CD or DVD. IIRC,
it also cannot change the target partition size.
I would also suggest that for imaging purposes you examine other solutions
that don't require floppies and are more flexible and reliable, such as
Acronis TrueImage, Ghost, Drive Image, etc.
