but why two snipes?

Since AS uses multiple servers to place multiple snipes as a backup, from time to time ebay receives the snipes so close together that it doesn’t have time to know that the same bid amount was place multiple times by the same user. Typically the bids will have the same timestamp, but sometimes they’ll be a second apart, as yours were. Seems like someone once reported ebay accepting FOUR identical AS snipes.

And am I being charged for 2 snipes?

No. You aren't charged by the snipe, but by the win. One win - one charge.
