2 sets of components up front?
What would happen if I put 2 separates in each door and have 4 tweets bouncing off the windshield being run by two separate amps?

You can do it and be fine. I have my winter Jimmy 4x4 set up that way. You just want to be sure the speakers are as close together as you can get them, esp the tweets. If they are too far apart (unequal length to your ears) the same frequencies will be arriving to your ears at different times. True, it maybe only milliseconds but judges will notice in competion.
In sound quality competion vehicles, you only see one set of componet (2 or 3 way) speakers in the car. Some use an extra set of tweeters up high but they are running 10KHz and up. Plus, they are attenuated.
In my C5, I run two identical sets of componets up front. I did it for the extra volume needed to keep up with the three 12" subs. By keeping the tweeters close together (and the mids as close as I could get them) I believe it sounds good. Would I try and compete in professional SQ circuit with the vette, absoultey NOT.

For sound quality....a definite no
Only your ears will determine if you need a second set. I would still say no. My two sets are way louder than I should ever listen to music at
Four Infinity Perfect tweeters can be downright painful. They are nice for car stereo demos and car shows though.

Alright, I'll just go with what I have right now, the Focals. Will I be fine placing the tweets right above the 6.5 on the same mounting plate or should I put one in each pillar?

In the doors, next to the mid.
You can always add ambience tweeters at a later date if you think it is needed. There is a thread on "tweeters in the A pillars" that kind of covers the added tweets. I'm thinking about selling my award winning Eagle Talon TsiAWD just so I can afford upgrades to my Vette 
including Lambo doors, fiberglass and tweets the A-pillars, and more HP
