You would have to test that but I think I'm correct.  I did a quick test in my local asp.net development environment and a new session was not created.

When you say you can "open Account of user-B of Company 2", how do you know it is user-B if he is not logged in? What kind of authentication are you using?

In Internet Explorer, session state is shared between the tabs. Check this article for a detailed explanation - http://geekswithblogs.net/ranganh/archive/2009/04/17/asp.net-session-state-shared-between-ie-tabs-and-ie8.aspx

The reason for this behavior is attributed to the single process that runs the tabs and hence sharing the same session state.

ASP.NET 2.0 offered a simpler solution by way of the following config setting

<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="UseUri"></sessionState>

This setting basically appends the Session to the URL of the browser, so your typical URL looks like http://localhost/SampleWeb/(S(afdg3ires1ik0lmjm3pkjtzl))/default.aspx    where the highlighted portion manages the session identification.

By this way, one can open multiple tabs and still have different sessions.

When you open an application in multiple tabs of the Internet explorer, the session object will be same for both tabs. That is why when you refresh User A's tab, it brings up the data of User B. 

This behaviour was implemented in IE because, say for example the user is displayed with a list of items and he wants to view each one in different tabs, if the session is not shared then he has to login to each and every tab which will be a big pain for him.

Here is good http://geekswithblogs.net/ranganh/archive/2009/04/17/asp.net-session-state-shared-between-ie-tabs-and-ie8.aspx which does a deep dive into this topic.
