You're correct. There were multiple grants, not exactly 2. The vesting schedule is standard and there is nothing abnormal about it.

So, can we assume some portion of the options was granted more than a year ago, and has vested already?

Your compensation is quite low, I would suggest negotiating now for a higher (market rate) salary and them making you whole after their next raise.

This whole situation has tax implications that could turn out badly for you in some scenarios, so you may need the money from that extra income to deal with that.
