If I already have an account, and then I activate another key from another game that I bought (for the item that comes with it), will I get an extra 2 character slots on my account, or will I lose the two slots from the new purchase?

You won't get any additional character slots if you activate a second retail key. You'll get the items and the game time that comes with that box, but you only get three character slots per account - two regular, and one unlocked with Klingons.
I added the collectors edition to my digital deluxe and didn't get anymore character slots. I just wanted the red matter capacitor and the USS Enterprise. I already have the playable Klingon and Ferengi and didn't lose them when I added the Collector's edition.

I honestly believe we will eventually get more character slots as a purchasable item on the C-store.
I suggest you wait til then.
It'll probably save you money in the long run, rather than paying for two subscriptions. Which you will need with two accounts.
I'd say claim the items, get 30 more days free, and then wait to buy more slots when they offer them.
