Two Accounts Banned

Obvious multiboxing is obvious, you received a warning through ingame whisper and then when you proceeded with multiboxing, you got banned. Since /follow is not allowed, it's easy to spot multiboxing.

Since when if /follow not allowed?
The only thing about this in the ToU is that you can not boost low level chars by having it /follow a high level character that you are playing.

This is pretty much clear, it doesn't say that you can't lead a friends character to town while he's taking a leak but it does mention which situations are allowed, which does not include any simple leading of characters:

Clarification on multiboxing

Multiboxing refers to playing multiple separate characters simultaneously. This can either be achieved by using multiple separate machines to run the game or by running multiple separate instances of the game. It is against the rules to /follow level characters, run dungeons or raids with multiple characters, PvP with multiple characters, etc. There are only a few situations where multiboxing is allowed in Nostalrius, e.g.:

Trading items between accounts.

Professions, as long as no farming is involved;
i.e. You can have two characters ingame simultaneously for crafting, enchanting, or trading purposes.

According to the ToU that you just quoted, I would say that /follow not being allowed is far from being "pretty clear"
It literally only says "It is against the rules to /follow level characters" which refers to powerleveling by having a low level character /following a high level

The guy admitted to multiboxing and received a warning. Then, he happens to be leveling with his wife with the characters on follow for a prolonged period of time, all while playing on THE SAME IP. Besides, OP's wife is probably his right hand. Dual-boxing confirmed.
The level of whining about bans on the forums is at an all time industrial level.

Keep reading, there's specified situations where you are allowed to be logged in on more than one account at a time. It pretty much says you can have them in town craftning or passing along mats and similar stuff.

I'm pretty sure you are screwed here, regardless of if your story is true or not.

Why? Because this isn't something that they can check logs on, it is all about the determination made by the GM who looked into it.

I must say though, that putting on follow for several mins after having just gotten a final warning shows exceptionally poor judgement on your part.

It's not just having /follow , it's obviously continued multiboxing
