Not unless you use a virtual machine. Only one instance of calibre can run on one machine.

How about an instance of Calibre portable alongside regular calibre?

No idea. Does it work for you?

Didn't work for me when I tried last week, I did not try very, very hard

I'd prefer two panes with multiple tabs - like xplorer2 has - but I suspect that's a very big ask.

You cannot run two instances of calibre in the same user account (calibre uses a per user global lock).

You can do a copy to any single library (at a time) without having it open.
Each copy can be to a different library, simply select books: (right click) copy to <library name>
