1. 

Is it possible to install two versions of STM32CubeIDE (e.g., 1.9.0 and 1.19.0 or 1.19.0 and 2.2.0) on one PC (Windows)? 
  If so, can I run both versions simultaneously?
    If so, can I program two microcontrollers simultaneously with two programmers?
2.
Is it possible to install STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeIDE for VS Code on one PC (Windows)? 

  If so, can I run both versions simultaneously?

You can install any number of different versions of CubeIDE on one PC, and use them all at once.

You will need a separate workspace for each version.

 

You can even run the same version multiple times - but that requires a separate workspace for each running instance.

 

I don’t know about VSCode.
