Usually not, that is one of the main reasons businesses are incorporated. The corporation becomes its own entity and the officers are shielded, to a certain extent, from personal liability for the acts of the corporation.

Yes. Generally, when an individual creates a corporation they then shield themselves from personal liability. However, if directors, officers or shareholders engage in any sort of fraud, or use the company as a means of committing fraud, then they may be held personally liable. Personal liability will also depend largely on what your state organization code says as well.
