What happens if several agents have the same labels (but different names, so that two agents appear) in Prefect 1.0? How are the flows then distributed among these agents? If a flow is already running on one agent, will the second flow automatically run on the second agent?

if you are getting started with Prefect, I highly recommend starting with Prefect 2, which is the default (LTS) product now: https://docs.prefect.io.
To still answer your question for Prefect 1 - your run configuration and agent process are matched by labels and you shouldn't start multiple agent processes with the same label. This docs page explains the problem in more detail: https://docs-v1.prefect.io/orchestration/agents/local.html#multiple-local-agents-with-the-same-label
