when you open a second file with `e: <filename>', vim opens a new buffer
with the file in it.

you can list te opened files with `:ls', the file marked with % is de
one that is visible. to switch between files you can hit `:bnext' or
<ctrl>-^ to toggle between files. if `<leader> b' is set in your vimrc
(don't know, maybe it is default) you can see the list and switch by
choosing the other file.

when you want to open a file for a second time in another terminal
window, it warns you that the file is already opened -- the .swp
swap-file. editing a file that is already being edited can corrupt your
content. with `:bd' you can close a buffer the right way and the .swp
file belonging to it will be destroyed automatically.

basically there is no really a need to open a second terminal window
with a new instance of vim. keeping all together and switching buffers
permits copy-paste etc between files in a much easier way.

seeing two different files in one terminal window can be done with the
`:split' command
