I have zero experience with a bow, but with a firearm you shouldn't unless you're using a scope with zoom. If you're using iron sights you should definitely have both eyes open. That would lead me to guess that would be true for a bow.
It affects your depth perception, so it's harder to tell how far away your target it, but it makes it easier to see if you're correctly lined up with it horizontally.

What distance do you shoot? Is that a picture of you? Tell us about your bow(s)!

Not me, my bow has training wheels. This gentleman looked 100% badass, so I had to share.

Oh, to add to that, we were shooting 3D today, so this was the warmup range.

Is the cuff thing for protection from the arrow grazing the wrist, or is for stability?

It protects from the bow string, I've gotten caught by it before... it's not fun.

I was told that when aiming, I shouldn't close one eye, as it will affect my tridimensional perception.

Whatever works for you! If you hit the bullseye consistently, you’re doing it right.
