No. The patient's immune system will have made antibodies in response to the first infection (to cure the patient) and these will prevent subsequent infections by the SAME virus. This is the whole basis of vaccinations.

Often, yes. However, it depends entirely on the type of the sickness and whether our bodies are able to produce antibodies against the disease (such as in Infectious Diseases). It also depends on if those antibodies work universally or only on a specific type or strain of the of pathogen. If you include all the non-infectious diseases, then the answer is an overwhelming, "Yes." Prevention is the best medicine in all types of sickness.

Yes. It affects different people differently, so if you pass it to someone else and then they pass it back, your body could think of it as a different kind of virus.
