are we supposed to open 2 IDLE (Python GUI) or 1 IDLE (Python GUI) and 1 Python (command line) ?

I open the Python (command line) which doesnt seem to work as shown in the video, doesnt have colour, its black and I cant copy and paste

I download the corrrect version but not sure if downloaded the correct format since there are so many under Windows and I dont know which to choose

All you need to do is open the IDLE.  The IDLE has color in it, and the Command line does not.

it's a matter of personal preference.  Personally I keep an editor window and an interpreter (command line) open at the same time so i can test statements and functionality without having to save or worry about other parts of the script satisfying the compiler.

It depends on your tastes. You can have one IDLE, and that is enough for you. In IDLE you can open an editor, where most of the time you would put your codes on. 

You can also play with command line, which might not be so intuitive to you at the moment.
