…with the exact same keys if that wasn’t obvious. I’m wondering if there is some data, or hash, or entropy of some sort that’s unique to the device and time of the signing that would make it seem like I signed the same message and posted it two different times, or if it will just look like both devices are “relaying” the same message.

The signature is different, but the id is the same. Clients and relays have to deduplicate anyway, so whichever signature ends up on the event, only one will ever be displayed or stored in any given place.

Yep, the id is the hash of the event, so that's what makes it content addressable rather than the sig
