Getting Data In

Will Splunk ingest the same data if it is sent to two different indexes?

I currently see the wineventlog:security as a source under my wineventlog index for the Splunk_TA_Windows app
and also under my main index.

Is it possible I am indexing this data twice?

It is highly unlikely. Figure out what host is sending, go to that host, and do this:

$SPLUNK_HOME btool list inputs --debug
