I’ve noticed that sometimes when I press End Task in task manager on an app that’s hanging, the app doesn’t close; but if I press End Task again a second time, sometimes that works. Is there a difference between the first time I click it and the second time? I wondered if the first time requests the app to close itself, while the second time overrides the app and just kills it. Is that true?

There’s an old addage when working with any Microsoft product:
“Wait longer”
In other words, your first click was probably doing its thing. You just needed to wait a little longer to see it work.
