The behaviour is undefined (i.e. it may cause problems). Note that the
supplied GRASS startup script doesn't allow a single user to run
multiple sessions.
Coupled with the fact that you can only select a mapset as the current
mapset (the one in which new maps are created) if you own the
directory, it isn't normally possible to have multiple sessions with
the same current mapset.

Yes.

To create a new mapset, simply create a new subdirectory within the
location directory, then create a WIND file in the mapset subdirectory
(e.g. by copying PERMANENT/DEFAULT_WIND).
