It's faster for me to open a new Windows Explorer instance with Windows + E than it is to find an open one, and I really wish that when I have Snipping Tool running, I could hit Ctrl + Alt + S and either open a new Snipping Tool instance or at least make the existing one the active window.
Can I do either of these things?

I have not found a way to get multiple instances open. At least I can't find a way natively.
Getting it to be active is another story.
Pin it to your taskbar, and then use Win plus the number (key) that represents where it is on the taskbar.
Example:
In this example I'd hit Win+5
If you hit that shortcut while it's already open it switches to the already open instance.
