With IE, when you click on File->New Window to get a second window, that
second window is a clone of the current browser. You'll inherit cookies all
cookies. If you launch another instance of IE (via the Start Menu), however,
that new instance will be "clean"; it won't have cookies that had no
expiration date.

"Request synchronization" is probably a bad term. You are right that I
really mean  "request serialization." If the servlet engine does not
serialize requests from browsers with the same session (in the HttpSession
sense of the word) id, then you can't assume exclusive access to an object
retrieve via HttpSession.getValue(). Some odd race conditions also come into
play.
