If you're using 'snmp_synch_response', then this will block, waiting
for an answer.
If you need to send two requests in parallel, then you'll need to use an
asynchronous approach.

The same comment applies.
But in addition, the agent will deliberately block when processing a
SET request.
It won't accept any further GET requests until the SET has completed.

Two GET requests may *possibly* be processed in parallel by the agent
(mostly if they're being sent to separate subagents, or MIB modules explicitly
coded to support this).  A GET and a SET will not.
