Sometimes I spot two instances of explorer.exe in the Tash Manager. Is there a need to run instances of explorer.exe in any case? Or this is some unusual malicious behavior??

This is fine, regular explorer windows and the taskbar are both explorer.exe
, but run as separate instances so that one crashing doesn't take down the other.
There's not a need for it as such. You can chose which behaviour you prefer;
Tools, Folder options, check/uncheck "Launch folder windows in a different process".
