Bought a new queen cause i thought one hive was queen less. It turned out to be otherwise.

In that case I put a queen in a new hive with 2 frames of honey, 1 frame of pollen, 2 frames of capped brood and all the bees with it.

I wonder if the queen will get accepted and if that is enough bees to rebuild before winter?

Second, I wonder if maybe I could introduce that queen into the existing hive? Somehow place it in the other brood chamber separated by queen excluders?

Thanks

Congratulations, you just made a split. I think you have one too many honey frames in the nuc, that space is best occupied by an empty frame of drawn comb or even foundation.
I just made two splits today a friend's apiary. Each had two frames of capped brood and one frame that had both honey and pollen. The other frames were partially drawn empty comb. The emerging capped brood should be enough to populate your hive and most queens, if properly introduced, do get accepted.

Do not try to do a double queen hive at this point. It is risky in my opinion.
