I'm not sure about this fate card. Both objectives count as an already engaged? Can I engage any of them again?

Each objective may have only 1 engagement declared against it each turn.  If you move the engagement to a different objective at any point after declaration via card effect (including this fate card), the original objective cannot have another engagement declared against it but the new objective can.

Well this is crazy good, then. I love when a card can enable you to break a fundamental rule of the game -- wow!

I am new to the game.  Can someone please tell me what the benefit would be to doing this?

The biggest advantage is that your opponent has to declare blockers not knowing what objective they'll be defending.  It can also be used to get 2 engagements off against a single objective if you do things in the right order.

To clarify the second sentence - this is because you're allowed to declare one engagement against each objective each turn, which is not the same as resolving one against each objective. With this card you can declare an engagement against objective A, use this card to switch the engagement to objective B, and after this engagement, because you haven't actually declared an engagement against B yet, you can declare (and resolve) an engagement against B.
