Why do all my nether portals go to the same place?

The key is that the game looks for the closest portal in the destination dimension, so if you build both portals in the "right" places (overworld x and z divided by 8 in the nether), before lighting either of them (Obviously you need an original set of portals to do this), then you can connect them properly.

How far apart do Nether portals have to be to not link?

The distance that your new portal needs to be away from the old one isn't terribly large, only 128 blocks, but it's measured in terms of the destination world; every block in the Nether is worth eight in the overworld, meaning you'll need to move around 1024 blocks or so away to keep a new portal from joining the one ...
