Windows tells me that I have a 64-bit processor:
However, checking in the Device Manager it says that my processor is 32 bit:
Why is that?
(I also notice that I have two duplicate processors?)

Your processor is a 64-bit processor.
I'm not sure why it's showing up as x86 in your device manager (as opposed to x86_64), but it's mostly likely because your 32-bit installation of Windows will use the x86 instruction set and thus treat your 64-bit processor as if it was a 32-bit processor.
The two "duplicate" CPUs are actually the two physical cores on the CPU - it is a dual-core processor.
