No. The two vdevs will be load shared rather than creating a mirror. This

Cool - now a followup -
When I attach this new raidz2, will ZFS auto "rebalance" data between
the two, or will it keep the other one empty and do some sort of load
balancing between the two for future writes only?
Future writes only as far as I am aware. You will however get increased
IO potentially.
(Total increase will depend on controller layouts etc etc.)
Is there a way (perhaps a scrub? or something?) to get the data spread
around to both?
No. You could backup and restore though. (or if you a small number of
big files you
could I guess copy them around inside the pool to get them "rebalanced". )
