Azure Active Directory Tenant

In AAD I'm able to Create a tenant in addition to the initial one that was created.

Does this enable me to create another tenant, sync users from another on prem AD Domain with their own UPN's?

We're trying to decide if creating a completely separate tenant vs adding a tenant under ours is the way to go.

Can someone help me understand what the limitations are of just adding another tenant under our initial one?

Yes.

When you create a new Azure Active Directory instance, it always creates a separate tenant. Under a tenant, custom domains can be added, which are the public domains that you own. Custom domain represents the same tenant, it is added to.
If you have a separate on-premises AD Forest that you want to sync to Azure AD, recommendation is to use a separate tenant.

You cannot add one tenant under another tenant. New tenant always get created as a separate entity.
