Bitcoin getrawtransaction address array in vout

Hi,

While doing some work on a node and playing with the data for a project, I am running into some issues with the multiple addresses in one VOUT of a transaction (addresses array)

It is clear to me (thanks to search function) that this is due to multi-sig transactions and those are the only ones with more than 1 address in 1 output.

How does that work? If a VOUT goes to 2 public keys, are both getting a UTXO to their public key and can spend it or either one of those 2 can spend it?
so if i would like to "follow the money", I would need to track both public keys for further transactions?

If someone could give me some insight, I would be very thankful. Also what if its 4 out of 8 or 2 out of 2. does that make a difference?

Cheers

Joe
