why dont you try a different subnet for the other adapter & its dest.
something like 192.168.1.2/8 & dest 192.168.1.4/8 ?

Because whenever a packet needs to be sent out, the routing table is
consulted. (check out the output of route / netstat -nr ) So for a
given subnet, only the first interface encountered in the table is
used. Remaining interfaces are used, only if the first fails fails.

yes, that is what the routing table is about.

No. It just means that the MAC address of the 2 nd card is overridden
with the 1st one's MAC. i.e. all packets sent through 2nd NIC will
bear the 1st MAC. The reason this is done is not to confuse network
equipment which sends out ARP messages etc to resolve IP addresses.
(Switches should be intelligent here, else you will have issues with
recving packets on both interfaces).
