In the new model of the E 95 Märklin 38950 (for Inside club members only) it would say that it's built with "Completely new tooling". Does this imply that they have produced this model before? Aside: Fine Models also come with a version of the E 91 in scale I (1/32), e91-3. It's got three parts, whereas E 95 has two.

No, this is the first issue from Marklin. Whenever they introduce a totally new model, or change the design from a former production model, they say completely new tooling. This can mean a metal body, instead of plastic, or a new type of motor or frame.

Thanks! One could believe that completely new is newer than the previous or, as it certainly states, completely new👍
I completely understand🤣

Another point.
Märklin says that the 38950 has a minimum radius of 360 mm. My old M-rail layout has some industry track with 5120 of radius 286 mm.
If I were to buy one, how might the 38950 behave should I by accident take it to that section?
Plus, would there be any different behaviour for it running alone or with cars?

Yes, possible derailment and the cars could also if too long. It depends on not only the length, but the wheelbase and the end overhang. When 5120 M track was made, long Marklin coaches and some locomotives were 1/1000, and 1/93 scale.

I know that long running material weren't as long as 1/87 would have made them
