No. Jerusalem has been the capital of modern-day Israel since ancient times (or, when it was called Judea).

No. In the 1947 Partition Plan, Jerusalem was to be a corpus separatum, which meant that it would be controlled neither by the Arab State or the Jewish State, but by a separate United Nations government. The 1947 Partition Plan also stated that after ten years, the people in Jerusalem would have the choice to vote on whether they would join with Jewish State or the Arab State. Given that Jerusalem was encircled entirely within the Arab State, it is likely that Jerusalem would have become part of the Arab State.

However, when the Partition Plan failed on account of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, Jerusalem was divided by Israeli and Arab forces between West and East Jerusalem. Furthermore, the United Nations abides by International Law which holds that the Jerusalem Law, which established the unified city of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, is void given that East Jerusalem is part of the West Bank territories. The United Nations recognizes Tel Aviv as the capital of Israel.

Will Israel have access to Jerusalem?

Israel has had access to all of Jerusalem ever since June 7, 1967, when Israeli paratroopers took the Old City of Jerusalem. I can envision no situation where Israel would give up the right to access Jerusalem, even though the Taba Summit Agreement (which was not singed) in 2000 proposed giving East Jerusalem and most of the Old City to the Palestinian Authority, but even that would have required the Palestinians to give Israelis the right to access the city.
