Hi Brandon,
Two caps connected the way you explained are in parallel and the values add, the max voltage is whichever one is smallest.
Two caps connected end to end are in series and in this case the value is half, the max voltage is sum of the two. If the caps are electrolytic they are usually connected plus to minus.
It's a visual thing. Think of series as a train.
