Miranda has a really complicated procedural history, and reached the Supreme Court as a consolidated case involving four different criminal cases. The majority voted to reach the the same result on all four cases. Justice Clark concurred with the majority in its result on one of the four cases, and dissented on the other three. They only voted once, but got two results -- not entirely uncommon.

It is not clear why they voted twice. I would have to guess that the wording of the majority opinion was changed slightly so another justice would concur to make it 6-3 rather than 5-4.

I really don't know but I do know they revisited Brown V Board of Education a number of times to see if their verdicts were being enforced.
