Yes. A thunderstorm develops from an updraft.
Strong updrafts (upward moving air in a thunderstorm) contribute to the severity of a thunderstorm by increasing vertical draft strengths.
Entirely in updrafts. Tornadoes form in the updraft portion of a thunderstorm.
supercells
All thunderstorms contain updrafts and downdrafts, and in fact no thunderstorm could exist without updrafts. A thunderstorm forms when it a mass moist of air is lifted to a point where it is warmer than its surroundings and so rises on its own. This is the updraft and is the storm's source of power. As a storm matures, rain cools the air within it, causing it to sink and form downdrafts.
It depends on how strong the updrafts in a thunderstorm are. The stronger these updrafts (winds), the larger the hailstone it can support. As long as the hail remains supported in the cloud, it will continue to accrete ice and grow larger.

mature stage
Not directly. A tornado forms in the updraft of a thunderstorm, but other forces, such as a downdraft are at work.
supercells?
Strong updrafts keep water droplets and ice crystals in the cloud, so they grow in size too. But when they get to heavy they release them as hail snow.

Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms called supercells, which have very strong rotating updrafts. Strong updrafts in a thunderstorm also support the formation of hail.

A sea breeze may lead to a thunderstorm if the cool sea breeze forces warm air to rise which creates a convection cell that creates strong updrafts that lead to a thunderstorm. This is how a sea breeze may lead to the formation of a thunderstorm.
