Yes OK, thanks for clarifying... the wallet with passphrase is independent... still accessible even if the wallet without passphrase is recovered/stolen.
Right. But take note that you should move the fund from that wallet to a new wallet with a new seed phrase as soon as possible.
With your seed phrase being compromised, the wallet that is protected with a passphrase isn't as secure as before, especially if you have used a weak passphrase. It's possible that the thief can brute-force the passphrase and access the fund.
