I’m really bought in to the Lemmy experience and I want others to share similar interests. However, I know they will have a massive amount of questions, and I want to be able to answer them in addition to my own curiosities. Here are a few questions that I have that I am still fuzzy on.

I created an account on lemm.ee. Is lemm.ee a separate instance?
When subscribing, are you subscribing to separate instances or different communities within a particular instance?
What is the difference between lemm.ee and lemmy.ml?
Is there any reason to make new accounts on different instances?
When I’m looking at the “Local” feed, what am I looking at?
What is the difference between the “Local” feed and the “All” feed?

Any additional information on these questions would be massively appreciated.

Yes, Lemm.ee is a separate instance.
You subscribe to communities that are made inside different instances.
Their just different instances.
I've got different accounts on different instances in the event one instance is having issues or is down.
You're looking at communities hosted on that particular instance.

~~6. Local feed is communities on your instance and all is communities on your instance combined with communities you're subscribed in.~~

It's all the communities your instance is federated with.

Edit: Corrected point 6 as pointed out by Communist.

No problem, by the way be sure to note the correction.
