Is it redundant to hold both EEM and VNQ?

No. Out of every $100 split evenly between them, none buys the same company. Half in each gives you 1,309 different holdings that behave like 48 equally weighted stocks, against 28 for EEM alone and 21 for VNQ alone. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you want to own; this is a description, not advice.

How is ETF overlap calculated here?

For every company held by both funds we take the smaller of its two weights and add them up. The weights come from the full holdings files iShares and Vanguard publish, not a top-10 sample, and companies are matched by their ISIN so share classes stay apart. Sector overlap applies the same rule to the issuers' sector labels; "behaves like N equally weighted stocks" is one over the sum of the squared weights.
