I wish to keep my fully working MacBook Pro using 10.14 but I want to install 10.15 beta on another drive so I can choose which OS to use at a given time.
I've installed the profile from https://developer.apple.com/download/.
Now the Software Update section of Settings lets me update to macOS Catalina 10.15. But before completing a 6 GB download, is this going to give me the option to install 10.15 beta on a separate partition or is this going to blindly update my existing 10.14 installation?

Also understand that you are running BETA software. So back up your stuff and don't be too surprised when something does not work as planned, and also this was released literally minutes before you posted this question. Any answer you get is an educated GUESS based on what macOS of the present and past has already done. So, again, back up your stuff and don't be surprised when stuff don't work and takes your work and/or files with it.

Your existing installation won't be blindly updated. The macOS 10.15 Catalina beta installer will launch as soon as it is downloaded.
You can create a bootable USB installer by plugging in a USB flash drive and running the following in Terminal:
sudo /Applications/Install macOS 10.15 Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/NIMESH
Alternatively, you can choose to install macOS Catalina on an external drive.

Good news. After the 10.15 beta download completes, the installer starts and after accepting the license, you are shown a screen where you can select where to install the OS. It defaults to the current disk containing 10.14 but there is a "Show Disks" button. Clicking it brings up a list of all other partitions attached to the computer. Many will be grayed out. The drive/partition you wish to choose must be formatted using APFS in order to be selectable as an option.
In my case I was able to install 10.15 beta to an external USB hard drive once I formatted it with APFS.
Naturally I made a full Time Machine backup and another full cloned backup to yet another external backup drive before running the beta OS. Be safe with beta OSes.

Good advice to not mix. Dual boot meaning external boot is good. Dual boot where people mess with APFS containers or try and hard partition yields a thousand questions on this site how to reclaim missing space after boot camp, manual partitioning, etc.. I love doing erase installs to see the new defaults. Beta OS or not. Then wipe and reinstall and migrate from a clone / other drive / time machine.
