An email can be given multiple labels. An email can be in only one folder.

Gmail can be idiosyncratic if you use it via its web interface, but if you access it via an email client on your phone or computer, it behaves just like any other email system. However it's the idiosyncracies that give gmail its ultimate power, and you'll find that most online email systems try to emulate Gmail rather than Outlook/Hotmail.

I use gmail a lot and the thing that really pisses me off about labels is if you are keeping your emails, including sent. While giving an email in your inbox a label 'moves' them in to their 'not a folder', the same is not true with emails in sent. I like to keep my inbox, sent and trash tidy.
