How do I start out with displays?
Bodmer's TFT_eSPI is a graphics library for drawing to various displays, like the ILI9341, which is supported. It can be used with the Arduino IDE to program a Pico to interface with an ILI9341 using SPI, 8 bit parallel or 16 bit parallel interfaces.

Connecting ESP32 with TFT Display
For example, the electropeak link you posted showed a TFT LCD with the ILI9341 chip, and if you are using the TFT_eSPI library, this file needs to be configured https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI/blob/master/User_Setup.h , the default configuration looks correct in this case.

What is the best method to split a single OLED screen and treat it as two separate sections?

For this TFT Display, can I buy a breakout board online or would I need to make one myself?
I was under the impression that since this display uses a ST7789V, I'd be able to use the TFT_eSPI library which has support for this controller with ESP32 board. Is that a correct assumption on my part?

Made a comparison between the ESP32-S3 SPI TFT and the ESP32-S3 Parallel TFT. The conclusion: SPI version is suitable for project need more GPIOs, and the parallel version is suitable for project require faster refresh rate.
It looks like this one based on the name shown on the final screen https://github.com/lovyan03/LovyanGFX

my very first project based on freeRTOS and lvgla.
Cool. I've just found this LovyyanGFX and the example codes look sweet
- There are many ESP32s with displays on the market these days. I compared several displays. (LilyPi, WT32-SC01, MakerFabs' ESP32S2, Lolin32+ILI9488)
