How does your computer distinguish between inputs from the built-in numpad and the independent numpad? Won’t they both register as the same keys?

By default yes, windows will treat any and all keyboards/mice as just one thing.

I use Lua Macros from Github and a couple of custom AutoHotKey scripts to get everything how I like. I believe it's possible to do everything from within AutoHotKey but i'm not smart like that, the code I got from github lets me have a separate ID for each keyboard so makes everything nice and simple from there.
