When we say teeing area , is that just between markers and two club lengths back or the whole tee of the hole being played?

Definition - Teeing Area

The area the player must play from in starting the hole he or she is playing.

The teeing area is a rectangle that is two club-lengths deep where:
  • The front edge is defined by the line between the forward-most points of two tee-markers set by the Committee, and
  • The side edges are defined by the lines back from the outside points of the tee-markers.
The teeing area is one of the five defined areas of the course.

All other teeing locations on the course (whether on the same hole or any other hole) are part of the general area.

Yes I get that. What's the reasoning behind it ?
I'm not sure I understand the question but a stroke is the forward movement of the club made to strike the ball.
And he did it twice.

Edit: If you mean 'why is he allowed to tee it up again?', I understand it is to make the rules consistent for any time your ball is to be played from the teeing area, regardless of why.
