No, one week without work is not unemployment. It's a vacation.

Yes. If you were fired without cause you can take your case to the unemployment office. If your employer does not have documented proof that you have been warned about problems on the job and just fired you without cause they will have to pay your unemployment.
Go on your state unemployment site.
It's not really possible to answer a question like this without details such as why you were denied and why you think you won't just be denied again. Your best bet is to actually go to your local unemployment office and talk with someone there about whether or not refiling is going to do any good.

You can be "fired without warning" anywhere, but that does not necessarily mean 'with cause'. Being denied unemployment benefits by the state would depend on the investigator's findings as to the truth of reason for the firing.
No, an unemployment agency can't check your medical records without permission. It is illegal for a hospital or doctors office to give out any information unless you have given written consent.
Being tardy for work alone is unlikely to be a reason for being rejected for unemployment benefits. Generally, unemployment benefits are denied if you were terminated for misconduct or if you voluntarily resigned without good cause. Tardiness may be considered misconduct if it is a repeated and willful disregard of your employer's rules and expectations. However, a single instance of being tardy is unlikely to be considered misconduct severe enough to justify denial of unemployment benefits.
