Question

Let's say you flip 2 coins simultaneously. There are 3 possible outcomes: Both are heads, both are tails, or one is heads and the other is tails. Does this mean that the probability of getting one head and one tail is 1/3?

Well, there is 4 possible outcomes: HH,HT,TH,TT. So probability of getting HT is 1/4.
