I understand there is a restriction of 10 qps. Does this mean, it is
applicable for a particular application ID or is it applicable for
queries coming from a particular IP?

If we were to run queries from one IP at 6 QPS and from another at 6
QPS but using the same application ID - does this mean our cumulative
becomes 12 QPS? Or because they are running from two different IPs
they will be treated separately as 6 QPS?

There is no hard rate limit on the APIs. The soft rate limiting, which is intended to detect and block automated queries, which are prohibited in the TOS, is generally based on IP addresses, but it does consider API key and usage of the userip parameter in the case of RESTful applications. That said, please make certain that your application conforms to the TOS.
