How do I add another icon in the Launcher for an application that is already present. A second Chromium icon specifically, and then name them differently?

You can copy the file ~/.local/share/applications/chromium Web Browser.desktop to something like chromium-2.desktop, then add a unique StartupWMClass:

StartupWMClass=youruniquename

This should allow Unity to think the icon is a different application.
