If I open 2 Word documents, I have two separate application windows and
an icon for each in the task bar. If I press the red X button to close
one of the windows, it closes that instance of Word only (i.e. the
other document remains open).
This behaviour is completely different in Excel.

close on of the windows, it closes BOTH instances of Excel.
Why did Microsoft makes this behaviour different? Yes, I can close the
document by the "close window" X button below the application X button,
and yes I can turn off the "windows in taskbar" option, but why make
the user interface behaviour of the Office applications suite
different?
