It probably just keeps it in memory without actually storing it
anywhere. I've never been able to find any way to clear that data
without closing the browser. But I must admit it was about a decade ago
I had reason to investigate that for various browsers, so I don't know
what has changed since then. I do know my main (Linux) browser still
works like that.

They are separate. Two different urls. The fact they both end up at the
same location doesn't matter to the browser.
